We
filled the hot water cylinder with a straight vinegar sucking it in
via the external water supply and running the outside shower on hot.
So it is a slightly stronger solution but we have no idea of the
strength of the vinegar anyway.
It
was difficult to stay off the main roads. The main roads run towards
Ankara (NW) and the little white ones go between them NE so cannot
use them much. After we crossed our outward bound track we ended up
on freeway. So made some mileage turning off onto a white to find a
great camp.
The original bridge over the river Kizilirmak which is now dammed.
We are seeing more and more livestock. Normally with at least 2 herders sometime 3 with a few dogs and the odd mule to ride. I assume the extra guys are to keep the stock off of the crops. The dogs are for protection of the herd and don't seem to be "working" dogs.
Wonderful peaceful rural scene from our camp site.
Surely this mole must of had problems with all the rocks. Although he did keep a pretty straight track!
On the way up the hill we stopped at one of the cisterns
and filled up the water tanks running the outside hot water to get
rid of the vinegar. Just 20km from our first Ankara camp and on the
same road. So at least we know most of the track down to the embassy.
