Another highlight visiting Wallis/Valais is the mighty glacier called Aletschgletscher.
I got to the small village of Fiesch and by cable car up to Eggishorn, from where the view is superb.

Winter In Turkey: Gelibolu/Gallipoli
Winter in Turkey impressions #17: Gelibolu, also known as Gallipoli, gained sad notoriety after a disastrous battle on WWI with many thousands killed. In the history of the many New Zealander and Australian soldiers involved it bekam known as ANZAC day.
For me was it the end of an very interesting trip trough the history of times. But before i left Turkey, i met an very nice couple riding a Honda Africa Twin. A newly wed couple, it turned out, on their trip trough their own country. After a nice chat, i handed over a sticker, which i got from an other Turkish friend and motobiker.
Güle güle ve yakında görüşürüz. Teşekkür ederim Türkiyem!
Winter In Turkey: Troy/Troja

Winter In Turkey: Cesme
Winter in Turkey impressions #15: Cesme is a small, nice town at the coast near Izmir. A travel friend lured me there, so we could meet again, having nice diner and i got a safe overnight spot at the port. Next morning i realized this place was rich on history too. So i went for short walk to get some more impressions.
Winter In Turkey: Ephesus
Winter in Turkey impressions #14: Ephesus surprised me not only with its sheer size and the huge roman theatre, but also with some incredibly well kept mosaics and wall paintings in some excavated houses. Lucky i arrived early, because i spent way much more time than estimated before. It was so amting to roam trough these contemporary witnesses from so many eras and history.
Winter In Turkey: Fethiye
Winter in Turkey impressions #13: Fethiye is known as a small fisher village with beautiful beaches. Over the years it changed to a popular holiday destination. In summer it seems to be very busy for party folks but in winter it’s quite and abandoned and many shops and restaurants were even closed for the season. Lucky i found at least a place for a good cafe before hitting the road again.
Winter In Turkey: back to south coast
Winter in Turkey impressions #12: I left the icy cold highlands and went back to south coast of Turkey for a few days relaxing in a warm weather. It was also the time for some maintenance on my Land Rover #TinaTortuga. Luckily i found a good mechanics back in Antalya.
Winter In Turkey: Ürgüp
Winter in Turkey impressions #11: Ürgüp in Capaddocia and surroundings in winterly conditions offers also unique landscape. My new friend and i went around to experience this Turkish winter wonderland.
Just more random photos…
Winter In Turkey: Derinkuyu
Winter in Turkey impressions #10: Derinkuyu is famous for its underground city. My camping neighbor told me about it. And since it started to snow i gladly took his invitation for the ride there in his comfortable heated van. Beside exploring this fascinating underground city, it was also nice having a nice pal to talk to.
