Turkish time

We have been able to cram an amazing number of activities into each day.  Much of this has been due to the diligence of our guide who has been on the phone constantly to make sure everything is lined up and ready to go.  Credit should also go to the members of the group who were always on time when we were meeting up to get going.

What has been particularly surprising though is the punctuality of our transportation.  Our hired bus drivers have been waiting for us each day as scheduled.  (Perhaps this is because they were told that our departure time was 7:30 when it was really 8:00, I don't know...) Our airport shuttle from the hotel left right on the mark though, so I'm not certain if normal Turkish time is fairly punctual or a little more relaxed like southern Europe.  Perhaps only those dealing with tourists as so time conscious...
