of 1800m ASL, the scenery is completely different to the coast. Yet the friendship of the Turkish people remains.

Met two retired British couples, cycling from the UK to Australia. In the middle of nowhere, it was really good to meet such open minded and adventurous people. Got some good (print film) photos of them. If anybody knows a forwarding address for Dick, Ronni, Geoff and Carol, (this spelling or otherwise) then please let me know. The photos are waiting to be posted to them.

The views of mount Ararat were stunning. Having spent many years looking at this mountain from the Armenian side, it was fulfilling to see it from Turkey's southern aspect.
