while I’m on… Eskişehir

I understand that for some folk who received the email version of my last post, rather than clicking through to the blog , itself pictures were missing. No idea why, sorry about that. If you were missing pictures then click through  to https://www.seasurfdirt.com/2013/10/13/eskisehir-the-end-of-my-road and all should make sense..

While I’m on.. here’s a couple more pics of Eskişehir, a really lovely town. I spent my last evening there sitting in a cafe on the canal, a very Amsterdam sort of an experience, talking to a professor of English from one of the universities.

riding in between the trams… fat tyres probably best ;-)

there is an extensive old town, in parts the beautiful Ottoman houses have been lovingly restored, a very expensive job – hence why in many towns they just crumble, the inhabitants eventually moving into cheaper to build modern housing. In Eskişehir the city is sponsoring the restoration.

crumbly in spots ..
the chap on the left has clearly heard the joke too many times…
