SOOO exciting! Went out for a few short flights with the most expert pilot, Jocke. It was my first in a plane this small.... and I loved it. Next time we turn the engine off and glide - can't wait.

Last minute getaway trip to the Turquoise Coast in southwestern Turkey. A much needed break I shared with Joakim, whom I met at the field station in the summer. We stayed in Ichmeler for a week - hotel and flight combined were cheaper than a flight to london! A bit of a tacky tourist mecca, but there were ways to escape the crowds. Sit on a beach for a a week? Never!
