    Hi, I am from Adana and I liked the video. Thanks! Coincidently, I was drinking salgam, when you test it on video :) Generally people from Adana love salgam. SO many of my friends from different city of Turkey don't like salgam and ask how do you drink it :) I was high school student when Sabancı the mosque was building. It took long years to finish. I really enjoyed to watch your video about my childhood memory. Thanks.

    OMG Ben and Chesca. Sorry I have not commented for a while. We had plans to go to Italy for 2 Months but France scuppered us. We therefore have just got back from Stateside for 7 Weeks big 5000 mile road trip. We tried hooking up with TtG in Hants but it did not quite happen. Ironically we landed back at T5 a couple of days before C&M left for NY. Travel is amazing. Anyway I have spent all afternoon Binge watching you guys and your new fun Irish Vanlifers.... so funny in the Hamam. I did this in Istanbul years ago and its so cool. Thanks for all the Tips we are heading to Turkey in Late Oct for a big trip. Have lots of Catching up to do on U Tube impossible when you are travelling to keep up.

    I love this drink. Even when I get back to London, I always go to the local Turkish market to buy is along with lots of Ayran. The best way I can describe it, is it's like a strong beetroot and pickle juice with a kick of spice and salt. It's addicting. Think of it like the Wasabi of Turkey. (obviously not the same taste, but very similar reaction especially first time).

    Şalgam isn't heavily fermented, it is actually very similar to yogurt or pickle and extremely healthy drink. It doesn't taste much sour neither when it is fresh, you could find it freshly done in the bazaar. However same as yogurt it gets more and more sour if it stayed long time so i've never liked bottled industrial ones neither. Sabancı central mosque was 50% funded by Sabancı family and 50% by people of Adana. In 80s Adana had pretty large industry and Sabancı family was leading it with dozens of factories. However after the rise of Chinese industry Adana got hit as well same as US etc and most of factories couldn't compete with cheaper Chinese products so they got closed. Today Adana is like Detroit of Turkey while there are some remnants of it's glorious past :)

    Soup on a cold rainy morning, mmm, that's sounded good, will have to try that sometime. I think I'll pass on the "acid reflux drink". I noticed River was making quite a face as she was sniffing that bottle. And, I love oranges too Ben, love making fresh squeezed orange juice. We have a Valencia orange tree in the backyard and I love when we get a good crop on it. I can't believe this is the count-down for leaving Turkey. Looking forward to seeing your take on Ephesus, it's touristy but maybe it will not be as busy as when I went through there from the cruise I had been on. Enjoy your final days! Hope all is going well.

    You two eat so much I'm surprised you can get back in the van. Good job Sprinters come with a big sliding door. You think 4.5 hours is a long drive? I did 16.5 hours in a Sprinter last Friday. Up to Scotland with dry ice for drugs and then down to Peterborough and Boston to deliver them. Hotel in Boston, The White Hart, lovely. Boston's an interesting town, would recommend it for a visit when you're back in Blighty. Because I felt too tired and too scruffy for the hotel restaurant my supper was a chicken shish kebab and chips (being posh I swerved the elephant's leg). Very nice, but seeing your menu I feel a bit short-changed. I think it's time for kebab outlets in the UK to expand their range. Happy travels!

I have just a tiny teeny question :) Your leash for Scout and River looks great and comfortable to hold. What brand are you using? We are currently using a 10m long leash which is really light weight, but soooo uncomfortable to hold, especially when Finn's tugging on it :)

    Hi. Tip for big driving days. We get up the moment we wake up and start driving. We get heat into the van from the engine. About an hour or so later we stop for breakfast and getting washed etc. It then feels like the first drive of the day as you are so fresh. Always do our driving in the morning leaving us time for if things go wrong rather than setting out later in the day but you may have reasons for not doing this. Good luck.

    • @OverlandingSophia

    Turnip juice (Şalgam) is not as bad as it is exaggerated. Only the smell is bothersome sometimes, but it tastes good and is very healthy. But there are many people in Turkey who can't drink it and don't like it. For example, I like it very much, but my wife definitely does not drink. I advise you to drink while drunk. Sobers up instantly. :)

We also have a security camera with a video which we use to check on them and make sure they're okay. We'd highly recommend something like that!

We had a fixed bed before and this gives us so much more room. We can host friends for dinner and we have lots of space with the two dogs. It does mean we don’t have a garage space though so if you have bikes, climbing mats etc it might not be ideal. But we’re in such a rhythm with making it up it takes us no more than 2 minutes 💛☺️
