Hello Sami and everybody who reading this topic
We finished our adventure trip around Black sea and would like to say THANK YOU Sami for a such great road advice in Turkey - it was unforgettable, amazing, inspiring... Now I can say, what we saw maybe not all, but half of Turkey at least - from the east to west, from north shore to the middle of the Turkey. We visited many cities and villages, have spoken with many people (if they don't speak English either) - and everywhere we've met very warm and friendly people.
Once again our team would like to say - Thank You Sami, you opened our eyes on Turkey.
And of course - Sami's welcome of our team in Kayseri was unforgettable also.
Greetings from Lithuania

More detailed report hopefully coming soon.

p.s. sorry for non excellent English

Nice to hear you are back home safe and sound.

It was pleasure for me to hosting you/meeting you in Turkey.
That's also nice you enjoyed your trip and route in Turkey.

Needless to say YOU ARE ALWAYS WELCOME.

By the way, wife was very happy when she learnt that not any Lithuanian lady stayed overnight at home ;-)

Hope to meet someday, somewhere again.

Regards,

Sami

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
