T\u00fcrkiye’ye ho\u015fgeldiniz<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The first problem we have to face after crossing the border: the gas bottles here are different. And the ones we bought in Morocco don't work at all. Not exactly ideal... We drive south via the Gelibolu peninsula and park our van at a restaurant. It is called Boomerang - for many travellers it is apparently the first and last stop through Turkey. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There Luca takes on the challenge to fill our gas - successfully! Instead of 2kg, we now have an 11kg bottle installed, with some dizzy seals. But it holds and we can cook without worrying for the next few months. He is also having torn clothes repaired by a seamstress and our Omnia stove - which we ran over a few days ago - straightened by a blacksmith. While we are still enthusiastically admiring the metal, an old man in a sailor's cap approaches us. He speaks German - even Swiss German - and finds the greatest pleasure in our number plate, because he worked in Altst\u00e4tten from the 70s until the 90s. Today he is back in Turkey, runs three hotels and invites us for a beer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because we have such good memories of our workaway experiences in Morocco, we decided to get to know Turkey that way too. We wrote to various hosts and got an answer from Mustafa very quickly. Our next destination for the next few days will be his home near Ezine.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
