Sleeping ın the car is simply terrible. At 11 pm you already start counting the hours to dawn. Started with the right front seat feet forwards. After that feet backwards. Then placed the towel in the cavity of the seat. Somehow slept. Looked at the watch and was glad it was already 1 am. switched to the back seat. At 2:30 opened the rear door to straighten my legs a bit. Slept between 4:30 and 6:00 am. Got up. Toilet was so stuffed and soiled that water and other ingredients flowed over on the floor. That was it! Never again!The rally should have started at 8:00. Due to formalities and and some speeches the start signal was given at 10:00 am. All cars circled the hippodrom once and parked agaın. Then we lined up to pay for the ferry to Cyprus and Haifa. 3 Ships will leave Mersin the night of May 8th.
At Midday drove off wıth the desert monkeys and we all got lost in Ankara. Had lunch at the Tuz lake (Jordanians rejoice!).
Rained buckets for several hours . Rally organisors say that the weather is not their fault but I think they are lying!
Just arrived ın Uchisar (rival city of Goereme). Have a wonderful hotel room hewn in rock and waiting for a most magnificent dinner. Tomorrow sightseeing. Pictures will follow.
