26-31 March 2006
A holiday visit to Turkey, centred around the total eclipse of the sun on 29
March, but with time for relaxing and a bit of sight-seeing too.

In March, with the air temperature peaking at 20°C, the swimming pool was always
going to be cold, and at 13°C (55°F) it was, but it would have been such a waste not to use it. Stephen is
first to take the plunge

Lucy in the pool. Although cold, it was very pleasant, and we went swimming on
three of our five days in Yeşilöz
