We took Janet and Charles to Izmir to round off their stay with us. One of our favourite activities in Izmir is to cross the bay on the ferry from Konak to Karasiyaka. However this wasn't to be on this visit as the water was choppy and one of the ferries had sunk at the pier head. Having a pigeon Turkish conversation with a nearby café waiter, we think there were some injuries to passengers trying to disembark as it went down.
Their visit to Izmir was rounded off by being able to watch a demonstration that stopped all traffic as it passed our hotel down one of the main Izmir streets in Basmane. We don't think they were protesting against our visit!
