Beer, Baklava and Buses
Beer
Tanaznia
almost completely lagers
very tasty ,when cold on a hot day
760 Tanzanian Shillings when bought by the case 600 cc bottle ( 1000 TzSh.=1$Cn aprox)
1300-3000 when bought at hotels and bars
UK
I almost totally drink bitter
a truly favourite drink of mine . usually delicious, always different
great memories or great pints and pubs
2.50 -3.20 (pounds don't ask the conversion just drink it)
I only drink them in pubs.
Turkey
most are pilsner , one is a Double pilsner???
Efes the most popular also makes a dark
2.17-2.56 Turkish lira in grocery store
4-5 TL in restaurants and bars
( multiply by .75 for Canadian dollar)
Baklava
mmmmmmmmm
It is bought in Baklavari ( like Patiserie)
Big glass windows- trays and trays of honey oozing Baklava
All shapes and sizes a variety of ingredients and tastes
How can one resist
12-22 TL/kg ( we have Never bought a kilo at one time) usually buy an assortment
Buses
In Turkey a mix between VIA trains ( Canadian) and planes
quite a change from Tanzania where price is not a concern but you feel like a sardine and you hope that the bus will make it.
Reminds Leah and I of our bus rides in Chile.
New, big, clean,Turkish TV
Refreshments served by Attendants ( almost always male) juice, water, cakes ( usually with raisins so Ambrose gets 4),tea -always with sugar and COFFEE..
Usually Nescafe 3:1 packets bad instant coffee,milk powder, sugar.( it satisfies Leah's addiction but nothing more).
The buses are never over full, they have large areas for baggage.They are reasonable but travel in Turkey is more expensive than we anticipated.
We took 2 overnight buses-saving money-losing sleep
No washrooms on buses so you have to WAIT
we travelled across Turkey on buses and enjoyed them thotoughly
