I have thrown in odds and ends of information since gleaned — writings, photos, maps and assorted visuals and audios dug from the troves of material available through the internet. These articles are more about geography, culture, monuments, tombstones (a lot) — whatever seems to tie in with the narrative — and not so much what we saw or who we met or where we stayed or how much everything cost.

I acknowledge sources of my borrowings in the text. Unsourced photos are my own.

Original material on this site can be used without permission. Please cite “A room near the bazaar, Peter Grant’s blog of travel in Turkey, Middle Europe and Bavaria in 2014” and credit my photos. If it’s not too much trouble, notify me at petergrant(at)shaw(dot)ca. I do ask commercial users to get my permission.

Thanks. Peter
