On any given day- you happen to be driving around Antalya, Turkey in a hired car and you... find yourself on a tramway and say- "that was a bit unnerving" life takes on a whole new meaning sorta. Driving by directions from an app- has its disadvantages or it could be owner/operator error. Hard to say- which one I would choose there Barry & Aannsha but... you did arrive safe & sound sorta at your hotel. Food & beer and relief from traffic/train problems interrupting your day pretty much. Well done. An episode I won't forget. A classic for A B Sea. Now the new app- "Hiring a Driver" to navigate your adventures in town, wound get my recommendation. Safe travels next week should be- hopefully less unnerving to all involved... maybe.
@@SailingABSea Stress free- famous last words... I've heard that before here on your channel Barry just saying. Mast up, keel down, & bottoms up on the beverage of choice. Till next week's adventure.
Hi, we've been getting caught up on your videos and enjoying your journey! We just watched an episode from about 8 months ago when you were trying to pick up a mooring ball. It brought back memories..... we found that for us it was easier to pick up the ball about 2/3 down the starboard side of the boat. It wasn't as far to reach down and the helm could also see the ball. We would then walk the line up to the bow and tie off. Enjoy the the beautiful blue waters for those of us watching from our couch.... In the cold !!😊
We blow the 📯 on the vehicle when we go through a tunnel. American tradition? Your guardian angel was watching over you on the track. Tourists 🤣 Beautiful hotel and restaurant. I hope you make it to Cappadocia while you are in Turkey. One of my dream locations to visit one day. I remember us chatting about it before COVID. I hope you plan a trip there...only 350 miles away. Please don't miss this amazing place. 💙
Oh, guys, that was so funny! And don't worry about the tram line... navigation at sea is one thing, but Anthony could get lost on land going from one end of the garden path to the other :)
Jeez, that was scary, not even a no-entry sign on the tram line. Just out of curiosity I had a look at that junction (google maps) there's a tiny little sign on the right with a car and a line through it, that's it!. I think I would have given up and dumped the car in a car park then got a taxi to the hotel.
Phew ...that's me fully up to date with all your videos from your journey so far. Wonderful stuff guys, but not being able to watch a couple of AB Sea vids after work...what will I do 🤣 Stay safe 🇬🇧
Hi guys… so nice to see Antalya Old Town… I made a huge mistake while there for 4 days and stayed at Konyaalti Beach… nice for summer but silly for winter that’s for sure, as it rained almost all day every day. I’m kicking myself now watching you guys going around those beautiful tight streets and museums 🤦🏻♂️ I only went to Antalya Aquarium which was nice, missed everything else. Ah well hopefully next time. Keep it up guys and look both ways for trains (forwards and behind) 😂
This made me chuckle ! We stayed in Antalya old town in 2016 to look at a yacht that was for sale in Fenike Marina (didn’t buy that one). We hired a car and did exactly what you did 😳 I must say you went much further up the tram track than I did, we had locals shouting and waving their arms after 50 meters 🤣🤣🤣 The entrance could do with being a bit more prominent for sure 💁🏼♂️
Well that was a roller coaster ride - with a smooth stop. The hotel looked amazing - and the food! No fish in this episode. Can't wait for the museum episode next week. Have you passed your stone yet? Was this video pre-stone? That wrong way - down the tram line might have been the incident to knock loose the stone.
Seeing you have been in Turkey for so long do you have to get a Driving Licence as your Australian Driving Licence is only good for about 3months and a International Driving only last for a short time as well ???????? Or do you need a light Rail Licence :)??????? Was Faster for me to just get a Thai Driving Licence in the end but will renew my Australian when its due. Great Vlog as all ways stay safe .
(Baz) Yep a light rail license is what I've applied for now that I've done my training. 😂 Aussie license is good for 6 months here. We do have an option to apply for a Turkish license. 👍

Hi Nancy, that's a good tip, we'll give it a go next time. Cheers.
Glad to see you tracking well over winter.
Finike is a bit more protected than Kas, so far. 👍
@@SailingABSea Moonlighting as a Tram driver. :)
(Baz) Ahhh now I get you. 😂 I was having a slow brain day.
@@SailingABSea Washed your brain and can't do a thing with it. :)
Washed it and like a woolen jumper it has shrunk. 😂

Yes we were total tourists that day. Cappadocia is on our list. 👍
@@SailingABSea I'm so excited for Cappadocia.
Oh, guys, that was so funny! And don't worry about the tram line... navigation at sea is one thing, but Anthony could get lost on land going from one end of the garden path to the other :)
We're glad you got a giggle out of it. Cheers. 👍

It was certainly an interesting day. 👍

Stay safe 🇬🇧
We'll send you a Blue Peter badge for binge watching. 😂
As much as we love our boats, it’s nice to get away for the weekend. When you’re in a hotel, you can’t do boat projects!
That's right Jon.
Always a pleasure :-)
Your opening had just as much anxiety as any James Bond opener. - Now I'll have to get my stress level down so I can watch the rest.
If we had seen an oncoming tram I would have just blown it up by firing rockets from the headlights. 😂

In the winter Antalya does get a lot of rain. 🌧

(Baz) I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one. Cheers. 😀👍
I’m also a Tram‼️🤣🤣🤣🤣
How lucky you didn’t have oncoming traffic!
😂 it was a bit stressful.
Driving up the track was intense!
It sure was Grez! We were very happy when we saw an exit point!! 😅
Glad you didn’t meet the tram
So were we. 😂

Fortunate the tram did not have a tunnel with tram traveling the opposite way.
We would hope to see light at the end of the tunnel, not the headlights of a tram.😂
Tunnels and Car Parks and Trams. Its A Comedy ! Missing the Police on foot patrol telling you to get OFF !
Keystone cops. 😂
Oh my goodness I'm sure there was under pants changed after that
(Baz) Not just underpants, we had to replace the drivers seat. 😂

Remind me to not go with you in car ………😱😱😱
Probably safer to take the tram. LOL
