We had a busy travel day on the 8th. We'd applied for our Turkey e-visas the day before and had to print them out before boarding. (Tip: Don't do this at last minute. We ran into some payment issues with the website and there's nothing the customer service agents can do for you when you call their helpline. You have to fill out an online help form and hope they get back to you quickly.) For those who are planning on travelling to Turkey, visa-on-arrival used to be available at the international airport but from what we've learned, this is being phased out now that the e-visa has been introduced. So make sure you get your visa beforehand!
We also had to process our VAT refunds before leaving the EU. Travelers to the EU are entitled to a VAT refund (12.5% in our case), which is processed at your last port within the EU. It's a good thing we had a budget to stick to or else Karbo would have bought a lot more!
