My translation software says the sign reads “Picnic Notice.” That leaves me confused.

The sign is just a few metres away from the Buyukada Orphanage (see yesterday’s post). Who is it that I am supposed to call? And am I calling to say I want to have a picnic, or to report someone who is picnicking illegally? Why is the message in English and not Turkish?

There was no-one else around at the top of the hill, so I couldn’t ask any passers-by. We played it safe though – we didn’t break out a picnic basket, we went instead down the hill and had lunch at a local restaurant before catching the ferry back to the mainland.
