Kahramanmaraş

Fully recovered, we continued our ride West. The route wasn't particularly interesting, as we followed a highway. But at least, traffic wasn't bad. People were very hospitable as usual. We could have stopped for tea about every kilometre. Some even offered us food. We accepted two invites at gas stations where we had to stop anyways. Other than that, we politely declined. In this region, there were many food stalls with grapes or dried fruit along the road.
In the afternoon, we found a picknick area at a lake where we cooked our dinner. We thought about camping here, but on a Friday night, there were way too many people. So unfortunately, we had to turn down another invite (the family at our neighbouring table offered us tea and desert) and get back on the bikes. It was just before sunset, so we had to hurry up to find a campspot before it was dark. About 10km later, we found a place in the bushes. You could still hear the noise from the road, but no one could see us from the there.Read more
