It drizzled for most of the night. Spent the morning on our computers trying to catch up with photo’s and blog. John reinstalled the compressed air's pressure switch and it worked, so that is good. I made some piklets for morning tea using Cream of Tartar brought back from Australia. Much lighter than using baking powder.
Our plan is to travel along the Black Sea coast until we reach Georgia.We stayed on the main road today to get some miles done.

A beautiful drive with all the new leaves on the trees.




We have seen some interesting and colorful mosques since leaving Istanbul











At Sakarya River we stopped and walked back for a photo. A bit of fishing industry here. 
 
Stopped in one small town and bought some beans, spinach, mushies and some more strawberries.
Next a quick stop at a Carrefour supermarket for cheese. Bought a few other items and just thought I'd snap the loose leaf tea shelf. And in the last 3 or 4 countries we could not find loose tea. Here 500gm is a small packet.

We exited for a camp down by the Black Sea. However it was a muddy track and very slippery. I handed over to john who gave our tires a try out. They got us through but can only assume they are better. There was buildings at the bottom and some were a bit let go so moved on. The way out was a better road and popped us out onto another brand
new road.

Turned off again for another try on the beach. One spot was suitable but kept driving in a big circle and finally came back to the little grassy spot.
