Yeni Marti Hotel Trabzon

Prší, prší, jen se leje. To by mohl být podnadpis dnešního blogu. A také proto se toho dneska stalo opravdu minimum.
Jelikož jsme ve východní části tureckého časového pásma, Slunce zde vychází velmi brzo. Proto se nám po dlouhé době povedlo vstát brzo a zároveň již do světla, a to sice před devátou hodinou. Světlo bylo bohužel kaženo ji ...

Ráno jsme byli ještě za šera vyvrhnuti z nočního vlaku na nádraží Batumi. Hnedka se na nás tradičně vrhli dva chlápci kam jedeme a že nás vezmou. Netradičně však jeden z nich nebyl taxikář, ale nahaněč do cenově přijatelnější marshrutky, a tak jsme za pár chvil projížděli probouzejícím se Batumi směr hranice. Tam na nás čekala důkladná lékařsk ...

Sumela Monastry wasnt as bıg as I thought ıt would be but ıt was stıll cool. It was founded ın the 4th century though the current buıldıngs are actually later addıtıons. Perched on the clıffs on a mountaın ıts a wonder how they ever get to buıld thıs place. The surroundıngs were beautıful, weather was really good and there were ...

... about non-Muslims being
inconvenienced during Ramadan in Turkey because they could not buy
food in the daytime. I found this to be not true. Turkish people are
quite tolerant in this aspect. In the cities most restaurants were
closed between dawn and dusk but some inevitably were open; and in
those I found quite a few locals eating, nobody would bother them.
In small towns or villages I could always buy food in stores if all restaurants
were closed.The only ...

Entering Turkey, my eyes were fully open for new sights, my ears to new sounds, my nose to new smells, my mouth to new tastes, and my other sense to quickly learn the ins-and-outs. The ins-and-outs came first as I jumped onto a dolmus (the new word for the minivan, leaving the old word marshrutka behind) heading into the blizzard along the Black Sea Coast, waves whipping. One of the guys on the dolmus was telling me to pay twenty dollars, which seemed very high. I knew prices ...

... heard (from the veteran cyclýst I'd bumped ýnto half way up the swýss alps) that Istanbul ýs a nýghtmare for cyclýsts to enter on a býke and that the last 30km or so should be covered on a bus. To me I worrýed more about how to get my býke on a bus and fýndýng the correct bus so I just thought I'd keep rýdýng untýl I got really scared. It dýdn't happen. Concerned about 4 lanes of very heavy traffýc goýng the same way as me, yes, but scared?, no. It was almost a cheap way of ...

... ofthe conversatýon was the words "very nýce" as ýn Turkey very nýce- Trabzon very nýce- Canada very nýce. Suddenly we had to go wýth our host and one of hýs employees ýn the car. Ismaýl's wýfe ýncluded. I thýnk she was asked to come just to make us comfortable for she patted Patt's leg as we drove. We were taken for ýce creams and to no other place than Mcdonalds. Back at the resturant we were somewhat shocked when the oldest guy, well over 65 ...

... it. Phew! I ate rice and green beans with yogurt. It's good enough and is filling too. I got enough of it to feed two people yet everyone was saying that I didn't eat anything. I just can't win. Oh well. When dinner was over, there was talk about quail hunting again as it had just stormed outside. But once again, it was too slippery. I have a feeling that quail hunting isn't going to happen. We ended up going around the block to watch a Fenerbaçe vs. Manisa game. It made ...

... and a little salad. Do I drink the water even though it's from a well? They said that it is tested three times daily to make sure it is okay to drink. Um. I still can't do it. So I went without water until 10pm when Nunu's uncle brought a large bottle home. A lot of people have come by to say hello. I feel bad that I don't feel good and I hope it's not translated as ungratefulness. My head is spinning and has a dull ...
