Cheating wives

We left Kayseri a bit late, in the afternoon. Tony's friends left us on a good spot and we hitchhiked to Gümüşhane with two guys.

Gümüşhane

The journey was quite long, we went through mountains at night and suddenly someone stopped us with lighter. It turned out that there's some kind of military base there and they control everyone going that way. They checked us and we peacefully continued.

When we were speaking with our drivers we get to know each other better. We acknowledged they they both were lovers of some women who cheated their husbands. They spend lovely time with them, but their husbands come back from business trip earlier that they were supposed so our cheaters were forced to leave really fast. We have really good time with them, making jokes and so. We even stopped for half an hour and had a party in the middle of road.

Dancing on the roof of the car, anywhere on the road, listening good songs very loudly :D But then came a call from one wife. One husband got suspicious about his wife. That's why he come home earlier. Fortunately for them, there wasn't any proof of cheating on place, but they wasn't in good mood because they spend with them just one night and travel back to their home - Trabzon.

After the call fun was abut to limited just for good songs. They started to argue in Turkish about situation. Of course we weren't involved in discussion, the plan was bring us to as close as possible to Erzurum. We chose the best road and Gümüşhane was chosen as final destination.

We arrived in Gümüşhane at night and decide to stay with guys and slept in the car.

They didn't went to Trabzon but rather offered us place in car. Iin the morning we bought ourselves something for breakfast and continued to Erzurum.

We tried to find a CS host in Agri from an Internet cafe, which later involved into interesting accident.

Don't follow us.

From Nevşehir we caught another ride straight to Ürgüp. We went through picturesque Cappadocia and saw valleys and rocks on the way. It's amazing how nature works and how people there managed not to destroy the landscape.

In Ürgüp we sat for a while and had some ice cream. It felt like holidays ;) Then we walked around the city, visited tourist information office and took some nice maps and booklets from there. On our way we saw Turkish bath (it was veery damp inside).

We also passed stalls with souvenirs, beautiful carpets and famous Cappadocian wine.

We climbed a hill-house (how to say it other way? in was a hill with flats digged in it :) ) to watch the city from above.

Amazing view. there was also a hotel in the very same hill (an expensive one) and near a cafe there was a room with sarcophagus of a warrior (as far as i remember).

We left the city and hitchhiked to Göreme. on the way we stopped on another hill-house. this one was completely abandoned and you could see that maybe locals come there in the evenings, because there are many beer cans and butts around there. but the view was great.

you can take a balloon flight over Cappadocia and i bet it's a breathtaking experience...

From Göreme we hitchhiked to Avanos.

Hitchhiking Training - On The Way to Iran - 31th Ride


In Avanos we visited a man who made things of clay. his workroom and shop was actually in an underground cave which was excellent hideout on hot days on summer. one room was a "hair museum" created by his friend who wants to get to Guinness Book of World Records and collects women's hair. I was not so eager to leave him sample of my hair, so i ran away and bought two cups of clay although i was worried if they survive till Krakow. they did :)

Then we went to eat dinner (or late lunch, our dining regime during the journey made it hard to classify :) ). or maybe i should say we were walking around to find a good place to eat. when we finally stuffed our stomachs with delicious pide, we continued on our journey.

When we were crossing bridge in Avanos, a dog followed us walking on the street and it got hit by a car which most probably broke its leg. it hurt even to look at the dog. so, one warning for the future: Don't follow us. it happened a few times that people (or animals) that tried to follow us, had some problems...

We headed to Kayseri. we saw the city only at night, but it seemed really beautiful and it had an interesting castle. we arrived near the university hospital there and we were very tired and dirty with dust. the idea of spending another night on the grass was not tempting anymore and i was getting angry. but Tony once again amazed me. He called his friend, who called his friend, who called his friend... and we ended up in one friend's girlfriend's empty flat. (did i mention that people in Turkey are amazing?)

we could finally take a shower and sleep in an actual bed.
