Hi Amanda,

The time is changing due to which two points you re travel with ferry. For example;

Uskudar <-> Besiktas = 8 minutes
Kadıkoy <-> Besiktas = 20 minutes
Kadıkoy <-> Eminonu = 20 minutes

there are also sea buses between some points, they are faster than the ferries.

Kadıkoy <-> Bakirkoy = 30 minutes
Kadıkoy <-> Sariyer = 40 minutes (very long route indeed (: )

There are also sea taxis for very very fast travel between two sides, but it is too expensive.

Take care..

Hi Amanda
Glad you like Norway, not as peaceful looking as your pics of Tobago, more dramatic, but as beautiful in it's own way, well worth a visit as you seem to travel extensively.
I am sure you have noticed I do not have as many pics as other members, although I have many more, they are slides and neg's from the stone age cameras so will have to get a copier.
Finland was a typographical error, there is only one Finland as far as I know, been to the border once when in Norway.
Keep the pics coming.

Amanda,
What a marvelous slideshow! I love that the trees are leaning into the wind, and the shots at sunset are stunning!

You've inspired me to go over to the beach this afternoon! I already got one of my sons interested in going with me!

Hi Amanda
Thanks for your comment on my Edinburgh report and those on two of my photos.
I'm sorry that I have no idea what the 'wow' plant is but your suggestion sounds OK!
What are you planning next?

Hi Amanda,
thank you for your beautiful slide show which left me dreaming of the Carribean... Especially I like the pic of the rushing in water in the Black Rock Bay.
Best regards - Petra

Amanda,
Yes, things seem to have settled down in Thailand. Two weeks ago I was truly worried, but I think we are going to be fine. We just can't wear red apparently :-)

Where are you off to next?

Thanks for your message. Philippines are indeed beautiful country. I haven't had a plan to go there this year. I wanted to see New Zealand. But the air fares were so expensive that I decided to postpone trip to NZ. Then I found cheap flights to Hong Kong and from there I found a return ticket to Manila for only 150 euro, so I decided to go there. Also I have been in most of the others countries in SE Asia, so I wanted to see something new. Before my trip one of my friends show me also a link to a photoblog from the journey to the Philippines, when I watched the photos I was already sure that was great place to see. Also Wojtek Dąbrowski on hi homepage made a great report from his journey to the Philippines.
It is funny because people or love or hate this country. For me it was one of the best trips in my life. But if you are not well prepared, you will not fall in love with the Philippines. A lot of touts, poverty and crime (I was robbed there as well).
