Long story short: Pascal went to a quick Bulgarian health system adventure. After his x-ray we have answers to his hip problems. Inflamed ligaments. Means: resting and carrying no weight the next 7-10 days.

After a wierd physio session where i got needles 🪡 in my hip and back which were then connected to electricity and pulsated little electro shocks, after being hooked onto another 2 machines my session was over and I felt slightly bewildered but the majority of the pain was gone... so definitely positive 😌Read more

After the diagnosis we decided to recover (or just stop moving with weight on our back) somewhere in nature. We found this old cute circus wagon on Airbnb and stayed there for one week. We collected plums and blackberries, enjoyed fresh goat cheese and milk. The days we spent mostly reading, playing cards and walking around.Read more

Zhelen to Sofia
August 28, 2022 in Bulgaria ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C
After the quietness and simpleness we managed to ruin the peace within few hours. We got up at 6 in the morning walked down the mountain and took a train to Sofia - where we thrown us back into capitalism and consumerism. Our mission was to find a sleeping bag. (Which is quite a mission in the Balkans) DECATHLON sadly saved us…Read more

A night train to Istanbul
August 29, 2022 in Turkey ⋅ ☀️ 31 °C
Somehow we knew at some point we have to say goodbye to the Balkans. (goodbye Cevapi & bet machines)

So we got ourselves a chouchette at a night train to Istanbul - they come with mini refrigerator and a private sink! It's an amazing way to travel - beside you have to get up at 2 am in the morning to show your passport at the Turkish border.. ohh and you have to x-ray your luggage with 78739 other sleepy people. So here we are in Istanbul - wasted.Read more

big city life
August 30, 2022 in Turkey ⋅ ⛅ 31 °C
First things we did in Istanbul was waxing our nose holes, got a new haircut with it and went some thrift shopping. We ate Yemen food, ate Kunefe (or as Pascal called it: sweet raclette cheese without taste) and we went to a really fancy date above the roofs from Istanbul.

We visited Turkeys biggest mosque and took ferries between the two continents. We met some cool people, found a brewery in the upper class region and petted cats in every city park.

We got tested our negotiating skills and failed - badly.Read more
Traveler Wouldn't want to be the dishwasher at that place.

Black sea coast
September 9, 2022 in Turkey ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
After the crowed city we where desperate to get some fresh air. So we tried to hitchhike along the black sea coast.

Green camping
September 10, 2022 in Turkey ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C
Hitchhiking didn’t work as well as expected. Apparently since the pandemic the people are too scared. Also the people are nervous because of the current situation. Everything is getting more expensive and in 9 months they have the biggest election since 20 years.

Nevertheless the coast is beautiful, the sea is frightening at some places.

Quick fact: the black sea was a lake before the Mediterranean broke through and mixed salt water in, also the black sea is anoxic so no oxygen. Great for preserving ship wreaks.Read more

September 11, 2022 in Turkey ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C
We arrived short before sunset, findind a great camp spot above the rocky cliffs overlooking the sea well hiden from the sleepy fishing village.

We had rather spontaniously arrived and not checked the weather the evening was great and the fullmoon rise big and glowing into the evening sky as we sipped a cold beer...

As we awoke in the morning however there were dark clouds, it started to drip we decided to put the rest of the tent up as we had just been using the inner part. Dripps very quickly turn to an allout downpour and dark clouds turned into a gale wind, thunder and lightning. We had wanted to wait it out and let everything dry out but nature had another plan...
The spot we had choosen was sheltered bit also a bit of a valley which very quickly turned to a gushing river which flowed under our tent ⛺️ .
We hurriedly packed our things amidst the chaos the while every now and then diving out to save a drink bottle or pots and pans from being swept away and over the cliffs into the Sea.

We managed to get it all together and got to the bis station where we met two Turkish campers who helped us arrange our way out of there and a place to repack our muddy and wet gear. They told us yeah the black sea coast is wild and it's coming into the rainy 🌧 season so we would be better of to head down to the Mediterranean ocean and go camping and hiking there. ..

Now we are on a 7 hour bus ride to Izmir and apparently 32 degrees soo sounds like tent drying weather to me 🌞Read more
Traveler this was taking as we thought the worst part had come however we were very wrong, we had to put all our electronics into a wet bag so we sadly don't have evidence of the carnage that followed...

TravelerMuss man alles erlebt haben! Aber Zelte lieber auf einen Hügel stellen, als ich in ein Tal. Dort spürt ihr „nur“ den STURM. Es gibt auch Häuser, wo man sicherer übernachten. Aber das wollt ihr ja im Moment nicht unbedingt? Isch scho guet!!! Ärfeli

After three days of walking we decided to take a break. We didn’t expect this - it’s a really open minded hippie party place. So we’re planning to stay a bit longer I guess.

Olympus/Cirali
October 1, 2022 in Turkey ⋅ ☀️ 35 °C
So news to me there is a turkish olympus.
We hitchhiked to Cirali where we camped in an orange 🍊 orchard. We visited the ruins of olympus,pondered what life might have been like then and saw luminescent plankton in the water at night.
The next day we were in for a another treat at the end of a 400m hike up to Mount Chimera where there are places where gas seeps out of the rock and is lit 🔥 resulting in an eternal flame, which would have been sad not to have used for a marshmallow or two after 3 we both agreed they tasted better as kids and gave them to some young kids, the resulting sugar rush is their parents problem...Read more

We hitchhiked out of Ciraly after a last swim 🏊‍♂️
A traffic police man 👮‍♂️ took us to the next bus station where we waited 2 minutes and the bus to Antalya was already in front of us.
We visited a hospital wanting to get an xray for Célines knee however this proved more of a challenge then we thought. After probably the dodgeist hotel room so far we decided to go back to the till now best method, good old physio therapy he helped us the very next day and was extremely helpful and professional.
Now was time for a 13 hour bus ride to the east to Gaziantep.Read more

So after the 13 hour bus ride, we arrived at 4.20 in the morning and thought It only polite to not wake our couchsurfing host quiet that early so we drank some tea and waited for the sun to come up.

We were ready to start exploring the culinary capital of turkey. This time we had local people helping us which made it even more enjoyable.Read more
