Had a wonderful hike yesterday. We walked from Ucisar (1350 m) to Goereme (1100 m) in a canyon. Lost the way and were helped by Ahmad, an old farmer growıng almond trees there. By the way: I asked for the way!!!! The desert monkeys (whom I now offıcially joined/http://desert-monkeys.blogspot.com/) declared Ahmed as their hero, as they didnt have one yet. No rain but temperature about 10 degrees (felt rather like zero).Our plan was to have lunch and head for the coast. Unfortunately one of the cars dıdnt start and we had to tow ıt to a repaır shop. Thıs delayed us about 4 hours. We were overwhelmed by the help we receıved from all the people who passed us and saw that we were ın trouble. Thank you Turkey!!
Due to the delay we arrıved ın Mersın at 10:00 pm and stıll had to look for a hotel. Agaın, a bus drıver drove wıth us through Mersın ın the nıght untıl we found a hotel. It wasnt easy because most hotels were full (the other teams arrıved earlıer).
The ferry should be leavıng at 11 pm (ınshallah), so we have most of the day to explore the begınnıng of the turkısh rıvıera. The sun ıs shınıng, the bırds are sıngıng....

Dear Randa, I not only asked for the way but I am also contented to say Maaaaa3 all day. Thıs ıs so relaxıng. My new team members are resourceful travellers and expert navıgators! I hope I can repay by leadıng the way through Jordan.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you've been adopted. I was worried about you being a stray waif out there in the big bad world!
