Journey.Destination.Experience I have thought long and hard about these words. They are Budget Travel Talk’s byline and each are considered with a view to the budget.  I’ve been thinking about this subject because I’m in the throes of planning our ten week trip to Sicily, Croatia and Slovenia.  We leave in a matter of days …

Istanbul is the first destination I would visit in Turkey, but Cappadocia is a close second.  Cappadocia’s spectacular Fairy Chimney landscape makes it popular with trekkers, walkers and those who just want to view from a distance. It’s position in central Turkey allows it to be used as a stepping off point for Eastern Turkey and south to Antayla. …

After days of rubbing shoulders with kimonoed ladies, admiring temple gardens and ringing Shinto Shrine bells, we awoke one morning blew off the incense and headed for the big smoke. The big city lights of Osaka. As always things were afoot at the Airbnb house we shared in Southern Higashiyama District of Kyoto.  With five rooms, house hellos …

Just 137km north of Townsville on the banks of Victoria Creek the small community of Taylors Beach is perfect for a boating mini-break.  Home to the week-ender, holiday and retirees’ homes, community life revolves around fishing and crabbing. On a day such as the one in the photo below, the still waters of the creek blend …

The first thing people ask about  our journey to Turkey in September 2013 is What did you like most about Turkey (the people) quickly followed by Is Turkey a budget destination?   In this post I attempt to answer that question. In keeping with it’s geographical position, Turkey’s affordability hovers indecisively somewhere between that of Asia …

We arrived at the Otogar* in Fethiye on the west coast of Turkey, with two potential Pansiyons in our sights – Dyugu was one of them.  While we gathered our bags and our thoughts, Birol  appeared Genie-like from a doorway – owning a Pansiyon I guess he met all the buses. Do you know where to stay …
