We left our camp late again about 11am. Stayed on the
main road for the first 100km then as the road swung inland we stayed
on the coast and went through all the little towns.
The next town were celebrating their strawberry industry and childrens park.
Out
the otherside of town we stopped and bought some more strawberries,
some wild strawberry jam like what we bought in Bulgaria with Elena,
and some fig conserve all for under A$10.
A
lot of the hillls are populated unlike western europe where housed
were mostly in towns.
This
was the second town today that had a water fall on it’s out skirts.
We turned off here at Zonduldak and drove through the town and up
and over ridges next to the water. A 30km short cut where most of it
was quite populated, We stopped at a small village to look for a hook
to fix our steps with. Found two guys who spoke english. We passed a town that appeared to mine coal and have two power stations as well as exporting coal. We saw these stock piles of coal black and brown coal??
Stopped at a fort at Filyos which was first built in the 7th century BC. The outline of the port could still be seen in the water.
Filled
with fuel, water and gave EC a much needed wash at Saltukova, then
turned onto a white road to find a camp. We drove through many small
villages with their big mosques.
Found a lovely camp on a nice sandy
beach.
