And we're off! Turkey 2012 has begun with the whole tribe of us (!) heading over to visit and introduce Leyla to the family.
First stop Sydney Airport. The 3am start meant for a loooooong day but everyone did exceptionally well.
Even so, we were very happy to get to our hotel in Dubai for our stop over...
...to have a wash and a good nights sleep.
Up and at 'em the next morning ready for the next leg.
Being transferred to the airport...
...and passing the poor folks who have to clean the desert sand off the windows of the buildings.
In Istanbul now staying with Aunty Serpil, Turgut and Ferim.
Out and about at an indoor amusement park.
Sweet little merry go round.
Leyla having a ride.
La worked out the dodgem's by not dodging them - bumping into the one other person in the ring.
A pit stop for fuel on a day out and about with Baba.
A cake to celebrate the birthdays coming up and the ones we've missed.
Everyone loves cake!
Sami having a yarn with his big sis...
...La kicking back with Turgut.
Ferim making the most of her time with Leyla.
Down the coast now in Antalya to spend the rest of our stay with Sami's Mum and Dad.
Still nice and warm so it was off to the beach to catch the last rays of summer.
A pebble beach mind, is not the most ideal place for a baby who loves putting everything in her mouth! She kept us on our toes that's for sure!
Another way to beat the heat - Leyla paddling in a bucket. We will continue with Part 2 next week...
