Ed Note: The editor has been so busy falling around laughing (or checking facts) that he has forgotten to publish 2 blogs …… so for those of you who breathed a sigh of relief – tough! It ain’t over until you’ve returned with us to Trabzon and Yalta.

Set your clocks back to FMT … Fabulosity Mean (sometimes really mean) Time ……… and stay tuned for more travels, more tittle tattle and more fabulosity!)
