Traffic stop with the friendliest policemen. A 176 Lira fine for payment on exit, around $50. Not the end of the world! I was given an apple and cheery smile and waved on my way. Of course we are now connected on Insta. It is a small and connected world we are now in.
Looking out from Mardin over the Mesopotanian plans, stretching away to Syria and Iraq.
The crowd was getting a little out hand at the border crossing point out of Turkey and in to Iraq. Nothing unfriendly, just growing noise, more and more jostling. The way to get kids to line up these days, and behave? Shout 'Selfie' and wait for them to dash into shot. 01 Dec 2019, on the Turkish side of the Iraqi Border Crossing Point.
