Total Eclipse :  29th March 2006,  Side, Turkey

On the 28th March a small group of us travelled to Side in Turkey for the awesome event of a Total Eclipse.
The party consisted of my friend George and I, and friends Peter Vasey and Carolyn, Ian Wardlaw and Edith.
We stopped at a very nice hotel called the "Hemara" just outside the town of Side.  Below are some general
images to give you the flavour of the event.
