      Thanks Sundai! It was so awesome we got to see the turtles, there were so many and we must've been there at the perfect time coz later on they stopped appearing so must've all gone home! 😊🐢❤️ I think Peter was still pretty hungry after his salad lolol but it was nice! 🥗🍅

    The view from the Airbnb is really nice with such a hearty dinner. Turkey is so rich with history, never ending, I see why curious minds 🧐 headed that way. Saint Nicholas 🎅 incredible respect of humanity, esp from a totally sexist world, more so at that time, bag of gold for them 🙏🏻. The underwater shots, taken with your mobile or a camera, love the noise of the water
    Thanks for sharing and it was a lovely breakfast vlog for me
    Have a great week

      Glad you enjoyed the vlog LH! 🙂 Yes Turkey is so full of amazing history and sights 😃 I think we could spend a year there and still not see everything but happy that we covered a really good chunk in this trip 😊👍 we shot that underwater footage with our GoPro, glad we were able to capture the turtles! Such a special memory and lots of fun trying to spot them all 😊🐢❤️ hope you have a great week ahead!

    I was going to ask you in the last video about the driving part. Happy to see you were doing good with the sides.
    You are rocking that hat, Peter!
    Absolutely love seeing all the antik kenti. That cat is trying to get your attention. Peter the gladiator 😆😆
    The St Nicholas Church looks like the churches in Mardin from the Assyrians in the area.

The closest we came to any incident was just in a carpark one day but coz it was an impatient driver but thankfully avoided any crash 😅

Accommodation looks great there and oh yes, definitely need the air conditioning! Hope Santa brings you something good! Heck yeah was wondering about the driving Peter! Definitely a challenge there! Dang Peter about the salad, still you saved some money not having the chicken in there! Yes Peter good choice on that hat, actually complemented the ensemble really well! Those ancient tombs and actually make me wonder how they were made 2000 years ago! Ancient technology but advanced for that day! Oh Peter the gladiator, might need some cgi specialists to make that happen my friend! Haha - just kidding! Santas museum, how cool is that!?!?! Yeah looks great and yeah fewer people there gave to time to film and relax in the peace! Oh yeah that beach looks so good! Yeah I just spotted the turtle and great you got some underwater shots too! Yeah what an amazing video! Great job!

      😁😁😁such an unforgettable experience this was seeing the sea turtles. One of the animals I most wanted to see in the wild. I had to tell you on the day cause I was so excited about it hahahaha. Do you have an animal that you really want to see in the wild that you haven't yet had the chance yet? I remember you told me about the giant manta rays at night which sounded super coool too almost tempting enough to do the dive course😁

      @@PeterandYen Was so so so so so cool to see your expression when you saw the turtles...said it all:) You got some great shots of them! Sea turtles were definitely on my list...still remember the first time swimming with one in the wild...and yup, manta rays too... I highly highly highly recommend it.
      As far as animals I want to see in the wild which I haven't... definitely chameleons. If I had to pick one kind, I'd say Jackson's because of my life long fascination with dinosaurs...there is supposedly a small population of them in Hawaii that started from a pair someone let out into the wild... I'd probably have a better chance seeing them if I go Madagascar... I also want to see a blue whale in the wild..can you imagine?? Seems like an experience like that is one you'd reply in your mind on your death bed...

Yen and I had the opportunity to see sperm whales last time we were in South Island unfortunately the weather turned bad on us on the day T_T We will have to save that for another time. There is a town there called Kaitaia which has a bunch of whales that feed there during part of the year. Blue whale would be absolutely incredible though. I think also the Narwhal would be super awesome especially since it lives in the ice cold regions of the world. Hahahaha. List keeps growing :D

      I've been fortunate enough to see Orcas a few times now living in Auckland city. They sometimes come into the Waitemata harbor which is where we used to work and live searching for sting rays. Unfortunately only saw them from far away but it was still cool. During the pandemic a family came and swam around everywhere and there were multiple sightings around the harbor they came really close to shore.
      Maybe if you get enough of an urge to see the sperm whales you will come to visit New Zealand 👀😁🇳🇿👍
