Tony didn't sleep whole night, he was exploring night life in the city. In the morning we took a shower on the stony beach fortunately without hot sand and decided to continue our journey. Spending time on beach was so refreshing.
We bought some bananas and after fresh breakfast we peeled and ate them. Do you remember old gags from silent movies with banana peel? We did the same :)
We left banana peel on pathway and sit close to it. When
first person came, he stopped, look at the banana peel, then look at us, twisted his head and overpassed banana peel :D After this guy who was in his forties we improved our trap. We put another banana peel next to first one. Then old lady with shopping bags came. And she did the same thing but without twisting her head. We laughed a lot.
Third level was with three banana peels on the pathway so anyone passing through has to step at least on one. They were smart, almost everyone stepped over it. We didn't calculate this possibility. After some gag attempts we put all banana peels to trash and continued to walk next to road.
Thanks to Tony's Turkish language asking for directions was qualitatively higher than with our English.
In some moment we got ride by taxi without paying for it. I love Turkey and people there! When we were passing through countryside we spotted a lot of animals next to roads. Staring goats are almost everywhere, not speaking about fowls. So waiting for car, I was talking with them but they refused to communicate with me.
Probably they were afraid that I will eat them. Lucky bastards, I wasn't hungry :D.
Heading to Konya, we got few rides, even freshly on small truck which took us to no-name village. As we got thirsty we asked one woman working in the garden for water. She offered us water and when we were filing our bottles she brought us lunch. It was something like soup with fresh yoghurt. In return we left sweets for little girl living there.
After lunch we got great ride on the open back of car. Looking at the changing views around we were smiling at each other and having fun by taking photos. Still smiling and in good mood we said goodbye and later reached Isparta.
After one hour and tens of watchers random guy tried to help us and took us to the close truck station, actually he send his friend in his car there. Unfortunately they didn't want to take us, because we were too heavy. So his friend took us back to the same place. Guy was surprised, he was waiting with his girlfriend (or whatever was their relationship) for bus. Before her bus came, he left us some fruit and his phone number just in case.
One hour later we got ride with small truck and old guy. He was around 60, smelled like toilet, but it was a ride. Our camera was out of battery and we got suspicions about him.

We came to another not important village before Konya in the evening. I think that everyone in that village knows that we were trying to hitchhike next to roundabout. Even some teenagers were coming one by one or in small groups to see us, some of them on motorbikes, poorer by bicykles or on foot.

What would anyone like him do on the road and why should he take us? After some time though, our suspicions have gone. We got a flat tyre on narrow mountain road. It took about 30 mins to change the wheel and we could continue our journey through the dust around. The man left us near the bus station in Aksehir. After checking buses we learned that there's nothing for us there. We had to find a place to sleep till morning, so we walked and checked every place that seemed suitable for us.
