How rats ate our delicious clothes

We went on to find some place to sleep in Aksehir. Whole city was so dirty and dusty. Nothing really turistic. We asked some people for hostels but they weren't in mood to respond. So we just walked around and after some time we only found a closed gas station with nice open garden behind. No one was around so we picked it out as our hostel for some hours. It had a nice resting place with armchairs and small table. next to it there was really tempting grass. we decided that it was the best place we'd ever find in the neighbourhood. Just to be sure, Tony asked a guard there if we could stay. Guy hesitated a bit but agreed in the end of conversation. He even let us use some cushions.

It wasn't so cold at the night with sleeping bags.But Tony doesn't have any. So he slept between us. I slept good. We woke up around 6 am and continued to Konya by truck. During the day though, we found out that we got really original souvenirs from Aksehir. Barbara's trousers appeared to have some strange holes that looked eaten rather than torn. After some time Tony also realized that the same thing happened to his jeans. That would explain some paw-like marks on our sleeping bags. It must have been some kind of rat or other rodent. It was strange. nothing happened to our sleeping bags or other stuff, only jeans and trousers were eaten.


We reached Konya by truck in the morning.
