Through customs at Famagusta with only a slight hitch

At Famagusta port we checked in, claimed our tickets for the ferry, and went through passport control. It was all going swimmingly until we got to customs. The log book for Janet's car is in joint names with her husband, who isn't travelling on this trip. Customs' view was that Janet could be taking the car out of North Cyprus without his permission. So thinking quickly on our feet, we reconvened our party and are now all travelling in just two vehicles: Diana's car and the Animalcouriers van. Our ferry to Mersin awaits Queueing for our tickets [...]

Straight after the meeting, Jayne, Diane and Janet went off to get their Turkish declarations notarised, and permission to drive their cars in Turkey. Meanwhile Bob and Lynn came in to arrange flights to the UK for their dogs Purdey and Cookie. A real 'round table' meeting at KAR's office Bob and Lynn arranging their [...]
