Good morning.

Still learning about crypto and this post probably shows that!

Other than our Helium miners we have a few other things going on but more about that later.

We had decided to have a weekend away and as we are in rural Bulgaria, Turkey is not too far away so a nice hotel booked and off we go. I know it is supposed to be a break, BUT i did still take my laptop as we like to be able to see what is going on as well as do all my daily check in's and my faucets, the things that don't take too long. I can do these if i wake up early or in a bit of spare time.

So then what suprised me when i went to do these things was i couldn't get on any sites, as you can tell from my earlier post, im not a tech wizz but i did check i was connected to wifi, the usual things and thought oh well, it is just me doing something wrong. Then David has a try. He can't get on any sites either and he thought it was strange.

A quick google later and we find out that crypto sites are banned in Turkey! So there it is if you really need to get away for a break and can't stop yourself from checking your portfolio or doing a few little crypto bits then thats the place to be. I know there are probably ways around this with a VPN or some other clever way, but as it was just a weekend it was not really necessary. 

I know there are some Helium miners in the city we stayed in as we connect to them with our hotspots but it did make me think about the risk these people are taking and how they get around it. Also how lucky we are to not have to worry about that. We had a lovely weekend away regardless of being crypto free. I don't think i could manage a week though so a crypto newbie .........well yes but i have the bug now and im loving it. Blogging newbie............yes again and loving that also.

Thank you for reading.
