A Visit to Buyukuda



Buyukuda means big island in Turkish. It's a half-hour ferry ride from Istanbul out into the Sea of Marmara -- and, blessedly, car free with gorgeous views, wonderful seafood, funky houses and mansions, and twin forested hills. Ray, Frances, and their attendants rode the three miles eight around the island once on a bike; then they rode around in horse carriage. Ray took a nasty tumble on his bike, but came away with scrapes. Frances posed against the gorgeous Sea of Marmara; and Robin, Frances, and Ray appear with the horse driver, who is much attached to his horses, Pistachio and Feliz.
