Empty legs and hazelnuts

After the many ups and downs the day before, Wis legs are so empty, they burn like hell just after the start. Far too much anaerob energy was needed the day before on the steep roads.

Along the way we see the first hazelnut fields and people who dry and clean the hazelnut harvest. We ask to take a picture and they give us a bag of hazelnuts :D Faar too many to eat! Black sea coast is called: 'Hazelnut-coast' in the east part as there are a lot of plantages.

We have a lunch break with a bit of swimming in one of the nice beaches. Then we find beautiful rocks and climb around. Suddenly there is a full herd of cows on the street (cows in general are no surprise on the street to us any more) but there is a friendly sheppard guarding them. We give him the hazelnuts and are happy to give at least a little bit.

We find a very friendly pension. The owner speaks perfectly German.Read more
