Only toyboy who attempted to pick me us was younger than me, (I saw his identity card) but looked at least a decade older! He sold me a two day tour and offered me an overnight stay at his place if I wanted to save the cost of transfer from my hotel for tour - I politely declined.
I had a fabulous time and would now recommend Turkey to anybody. It is a beatiful country and everbody (other than airport officials) seems very friendly and open and I felt quite safe on my own.
Not yet looked at my holiday snaps other than on camera monitor - took about a hundred I think.
Looking forward to seeing my lover tomorrow.

Hi PG - didn't know you were off to Turkey, I could have compared notes with you.
The weirdest experience I had was with Tourist Information services. In general, I would say forget it, and take your own good guides (book ones, unless you have another choice)and be an independent traveller. At Attaturk airport, the T.I. man was helpful,(not sure about the ladies) but late at night all you want is advice on getting to your place of residence.
