Hotel Tatvan Kardelen

Olen nõuks võtnud jõuda õhtuks Hasankeyfi ja seega sunnitud sõitma läbi tiheneva pimeduse. Kaks suurt ja üks väike auto on selles pimeduses juba omavahel kokku sõitnud. Tee äärde tekkinud suured tumedad kogud lasevad aimata mägesid. Mis tähendab, et ennistine maaliliselt laineline maastik on otsa saanud. Ja ka vanamehi ja poisikesi eeslitel pole enam näha. Välja arvatud vahetult enne nendega põkkumist. Keegi võiks küll ette võtta helkuri tutvustamise asiaatidele. Aga ...

Leaving oin the morning from Hakkari a big and unknown to us. We have enjoyed a very good night after a delicious meal and some wine in our room.<br><br>Leaving the area with the high rugged mountains it changes into a high plateau, which would be ideal to build a 4000 hole golf course over high passes. (2740m and 2230m) We are underestimating the availability of gas stations with lead free gasoline ...

After Savur we passed by Hasankeyf.

Even though the day before we had made a special trip to the pier to confirm with the staff there that the ferry would leave at 1 PM, when we arrived there we were told that things had changed, the ferry "may" leave in the evening, if at all. So we ended up doing the bus again. Luckily we got a ride from the pier to the city center and were able to chase down the bus to Van even though it had left the terminal already.<br><br>Van's ...

We traveled to Hasankeyf, another ancient town in the region, the day after we hit Mardin. The town is by the Tigris River and it must be a quite important place in the past because it has the remains of a big bridge and a big cave city with castle on top of the cliff next to the river. But you can hardly find any foreign tourist here and the only lodging in town is a very basic ...

Left the campsite and drove through weird weather - snow, hail, rain then sun! En route, stopped to talk with bee keepers, and to take tea with them. Beautiful day now and the flowers are stunning. Stopped again to chat with shepherds and take photos of their flock, which they are looking after for someone else, each animal ...

Itinerary : Yuksekova - Tatvan Dates : 23rd of November 2007 Mileage in Turkey : 300 km Mileage so far : 15700 km We woke up in our **** room in Yuksekova with only one thing in mind : "is there snow outside?" And without any real surprise when we opened the curtains, there was snow and it was still snowing...We still decided to jump on the bikes as soon as possible to ride as far as we could and improvise when the time comes. So at 6 am, we were on ...
