We really are in the rural area of Turkey. We see animals being herded all the time. Very rural villages we pass through with old housing and animals right next to the house in a compound or sheds. Quite smelly. The sheep are all dirty as they stay in the same yard/building every night so are just on dirt and dung.
We arrived at the Incesu Gorge and these two girls came up to tell us we could get food and chai at their market. They then came back with a note but I had trouble translating it. But it did introduce them.

We had a walk up the path and invited the two girls along. One of their dads came too. I took lots of photos of flowers and we enjoyed the time in the sun. John was in shorts for the first time since Australia. When we got back we had tea with two couples . couldn’t talk much, but google helped. Finally needed to make miles.



John has found some very tight contours on the map with a yellow road and tunnels so that's our destination. A slight detour off our route but we have 5 days to get to the border.


Wonderful colors of the crop and soil.

As we pulled up into this unused camp site. A farmer drove past in his tractor I waved and he stopped. I went down the bank to meet him, He seemed OK that we were here for the night and gone tomorrow, not even sure the place is his. But we took it as all OK
