BTBtv is back in a big way from what should be the longest hiatus of our trip. Follow along with us as we go on a 12 day trek in the Annapurna region of the Himalayas. We’ve got animal encounters, people carrying strange things, some interesting food, lots of walking, and of course some pretty dramatic scenery. Enjoy.

In this mega episode, we cover our last two weeks in Egypt. We visit Alexandria, Egypt’s window on the Med; the remote and different Siwa Oasis; give you a backseat view of a safari in the Great Sand Sea; and take you around one of the idleness capitals of the world, Dahab.

In this sickness-delayed (much better now, thanks!) episode: beautiful Aswan and the massive complex of Abu Simbel; the land of the dead in Luxor explored; and the gargantuan Temples of Karnak. After all that if you’re still hungry for more Egyptology, check out the article on Wikipedia.

In this (short) episode: A brief stop at Mardin; picturesque Van Castle; the dominating Mt. Ararat; and the sublime Ishak Pasha Palace. New this episode is music that I won’t get sued for using, courtesty of edgen.

In this episode: Cappadocia in all its glory; tasty treats; the remote and breathtaking Mt. Nemrut; the interesting beehive houses of Biblical Harran; and the never-dull Sanliurfa.

In this episode: The classical ruins of Ephesus, once the Roman capital of the province of Asia; the travertines of Pamukkale; sailing the Mediterranean at Fethiye; and chilling out at Olympos. The audio and video are just a tiny bit out of sync, which is better than it was a few days ago. Try not to let it bother you!

A few quick excuses. We’re new at this, not really sure how everything will work out. So keep that in mind. That’s why this is “Episode 1/2,” things should keep getting better. Also if anyone knows anywhere to find copyright-free music, please let me know.
