Liefde op het eerste gezicht

Turkey was love at first sight for me. I bought our house on my third day of my first visit to the country in 2003 and for the next five years we spent as much time here as we could. In 2008 we took early retirement and moved out here permanently. People often ask, '' Don't you get bored?'' - but that is impossible. Turkey is a huge country full of variety in climate, scenery, customs, culture, architecture and cuisine. One thing however is the same wherever you go - the friendliness and hospitality of the people. In addition Ann has taken up new hobbies: scuba diving, felt-making, acrylic painting and darts - also we have both qualified to pilot boats and are busy restoring one.
