Where does the time go???

Even though I have tried a few times to upload a post it has nevwer worked!!  I know it is me but it is so frustrating after a very tiring day and you type up a post and then it disappears!!

Well what can I say except I did try!!  The tour wasd very tiring, but we did manage to get in some shopping and a helluva lot of fun!!  There was a lot of “coveting” going on after some other girls’ possessions but we usually always managed to remedy this by finding the item somewhere else.

One particular problem which was solved was with regard a beautiful ring that one of the girls had and when we went to the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul this particular “covetor” went to a jeweller and had it made.  It was lovely!

People did try to “crash” the back of the bus as this was where all the fun people were (yes, yes I was there with bells on)!  Everyone up the front wondered what all the laughing was about.  This usually happened in he morning as after lunch we needed our “glamour naps” and we tended to be a little quieter!  Full bellies tend to do that to you.  Anyway. we managed to ward off invaders (really only one actually and he wasn’t female)!!

We did allow husbands in but they usually sat nice and quietly!  One (sometimes two) husband was gorgeous and would hurry off the bus and help all of us down – take our bags, lend us a steadying arm as the back exit was like descending a slippery dip ladder!!!  We gave him a special mention on the last night!!  I did forget to mention that our average age would have been approximately 60!!

6 of the 8 “back of the bus” girls are in this photo!! Gorgeous girls!!

Once I get home II have been booked to do a Mozzarella making lesson for them.  It will be fun
