In April 2017 I left Australia for a solo trip around the world on a BMW F800GS. I named it “Are We There Yet”, because I don't know my final destination or the duration of this journey.
Turkey was the twelfth country I visited and here I started to have some issues with the bike. I had to have the fuel pump replaced in Ankara and deal with leaking forks in Istanbul. But despite all the technical problems, Turkey is one of my favourite countries that I've been to. Unfortunately I missed out on seeing a good deal of the beauty of the landscape, but the people who crossed my path were so welcoming, helpful and hospitable that I’m definitely coming back to see it all properly.
If you wish to get more details on my stay in Turkey check out my blog post:
Throughout my journey I'm raising money for a young disabled child in Poland named Franek. Franek was diagnosed with cerebral palsy (weakness of the entire right side of the body) and he will require constant rehabilitation for the rest of his life. All the money raised will go directly to helping Franek and his family lead as normal a life as possible so please donate generously:

Part One: Amazing Princes Islands Istanbul Tour | Büyükada | Travel Vlog
Join with me to the amazing Princes Island Istanbul Tour, to the biggest of the Islands, Büyükada.
The Princes’ Islands (Adalar) are nine small islands in the Sea of Marmara, near to Istanbul mainland. Four of the islands are big and can be visited. The names of this islands are Büyükada, Kınalıada, Heybeliada and Burgazada.
I took the public ferry from Bostancı (Asia Side) to reach Büyükada, the biggest of the Princes' Islands. Of course, you can also take the ferry at the European Side, from Kabataş or Sirkeci, direct to the Princes Islands. My ferry stopped briefly on Heybeliada Island to unload some passengers before it moved on to Büyükada.
Büyükada Island (5.46 5,46 km²) is the biggest of the Princes’ Islands (ADALAR) in the Sea of Marmara, near to Istanbul. It was known as Prinkipos (Greek:Prince). In Byzantine times princes were exiled blinded, to remove them from the political scene. Nowadays people come voluntarily. Often there are large crowds of townspeople and tourists, especially weekends. To avoid the crowds i arrived approximately at 4:30 pm. The last tourists were already leaving the island.
Main transport in Büyükada are horse carriages. On the board of the horse carriage station are fixed prices for the rides, depending on where you want to go. You can also make a short or a long Island Tour with the horse carriage. (Turkish: Küçük Tur and Büyük Tur)
The conditions in which these horses on the island are living is criticised by animal welfare groups. Many locals refuse using horse carriages. As an alternative you can explore the island by renting a bicycle or walking.
On the seaside promenade are see few seaside fish restaurants (seafood) with a impressive view of the Marmara Sea and Istanbul. You have in Büyükada a selection of restaurants with different price categories. Some shops, coffees and bars are also available. And during the Summer people can enjoy the beaches of Büyükada.
