Post Script from Turkey

_
After my return from Greece I did not mean to go away again for a while but I had an unexpected invitation to board a beautiful Turkish gulet, the Randa (above), and sail along the Lycian coast of Anatolia. At the airport on the way out, I came across a copy of Herodotus's Histories, a book I had never had time to read. Now I had time: and the opportunity. As I sailed the Mediterranean, book in hand, I reflected on what my past year in travel had taught me. This is my summing up.
O, and this is what it was like to sail in the sublime Mediterranean. Click here...
I would like £10,000 of travel prize every year for the rest of my life.
