Ode to Turkish buses

We had to mention the bus services at least once. At Istanbul alone there are 150 bus companies all leaving from the station, going everywhere and anywhere. On most buses, there is a complementary tea and coffee service, and snacks!

The roads are a different story... although they are well-maintained (at least in western Turkey where we've been), there are a distinct lack of guard-rails and hard shoulders present at the many sharp corners with 300 foot drops onto rocks and the sea.
