The train ride through Turkey was gorgeous! We slept through the night and in the morning the train was trundling through the mountains, and I mean through. The Turks don't mess around when it comes to trains and mountains - they just go through them. For quite some time we were in tunnels more than we were outside, and when light did come in through the windows it revealed magnificent, steep, craggy valley walls, and the sun was so bright it made every green surface glow! But then only for a moment as we are plunged into the darkness of the mountain again.
