Onward we go, More Turkey

Off we go at the usual 7:30 start as we have only 245 miles (ish) to do today and there are some seriously small roads and we will get to an altitude of 1650m.
Kasim leading the way with his GPS we soon find that people are going different routes and while i am marking a junction some of the group (with their blinkers on) ride straight past. Oh well proper map reading stuff as the GPS is just recalculating. Turkey has an issue with anyone other than their army knowing where they are.
Spot of lunch and the guy had a Globebusters sticker in his window from the previous year
No time for a rest as the roads are twisty and in very poor repair as we climb. when the do repair it brings everything to a stop. the picture shows them just digging the side of the road away and once they saw Adam with the camera all waves ans smiles and boulder pushed pushed out of the way and the bikes let through. SOD the cars "fantastic" so further we climb into a very stark barren grass land where the local farmers live int eh summer for green pastures for their livestock

The buildings are all wood and are abandoned in the winter

This might have been a small mileage day but it is taking hours. Finally got the hotel after 10 hours and very glad to be off the thing
Apparently same thing again tomorrow, small miles, lots of hours in the saddle with frequent fill ups as you do not know when you will get your next fuel




Our final resting place for the evening is a 300 year old house which is now a hotel. Made of completely wood the staircase and the ceilings are really crooked.
The strangest thing was that the toilet ans shower were in the built in wardrobe and we could not get use to stepping into the cupboard for a pee. (i do know that there are a few of my freinds who have done this when drunk)
also was the taking off of our big bike boots and the bottom of the stairs before entering the stairs and rooms, a Muslim thing apparently
