Across the desert, through the forbidden city and straight to the beach!

We landed in Ataturk Airport yesterday and rather then cycliıng into Istanbul we headed straight for the coast and to the beach. Well, "straight" is not quite right - navigation has been challenging with roads definitely not set up for cyclist - well nor for motorists either - the road signs are very sporadic - but we got here: Silivri campsite at the beach - lovely. It's rather hot here and we have been in the sea lots already and are gorging on fruit. Tonight we are having dinner with a campervan couple from Essex (the only other foreign tourists on our campsite).

Beijing was fantatstic and we had brilliant four days includıng the forbidden city, the great wall and a kungfu show. Unfortunately the blog was censored in China so more on our time there later.

Pics and further update to follow - over and out.
