Amber, Me, Shelby, Dani and the poor horse that had to take us to school


The carriage


Me in the traditional dress


All of us in the carriage on our way to school

Another amazing week has passed so quickly. On Thursday I had a fantastic day with Amber, Shelby and Dani at Troy, Assos and a few other villages along the way. Amber and I were fortunate enough to try on a traditional dress the women wear for henna nights and traditional dancing, it was made up of four different layers which made it very hot to wear. We also got to meet some of the villagers and have photos with them they were very sweet.

Yesterday we went to the market again to do some more shopping, I'm not sure how I'm going to fit everything in my bag to come home it's already half full with presents. Amber then took us out for lunch where we had a type of pizza but you roll it up to eat it, it's very delicious. We then took a very amusing horse and carriage ride to school which I think the whole school was waiting for the four foreigners to pull up at the school gates looking quite ridiculous. After school we were invited to a Turkish girls house for afternoon tea as she is going on an exchange to Shelby and Dani's school in Australia later on this year.

Today my friends are all coming over for a small party where our housekeeper is going to teach us how to make a Turkish dish called manti, it's a bit like tiny ravioli you eat it with garlic yoghurt and tomato puree sauce.

Tomorrow there is a big group of my friends and there host families going to a small Island called Bozada. We are visiting an old church, wine factory, a stunning beach some houses and eating at a restaurant for lunch. I can't wait so will be adding photos of it over the next few days.
