Istanbul-Off to Adana in southeastern Turkey to connect to a bus in Antakya, in the Hatay region near the Syrian border. Have no idea who I will meet or what will transpire. It always begins like this. Hoping to connect with the Free Syrian Army whose upper echelon seem to be controlled by the local authorities in Hatay from what I’ve read. Not one but two journos told me the they well all the way to the border and failed. I hope to succeed. And if I don’t…well there’s always Iraq right there.
