500km of driving today through vastly changing landscapes.

Finding the hotel we'd planned on via google maps was interesting. First went to one that was fully booked (turned out that a wedding party were staying there). Tiny cobbled backstreets with lots of kids. Then the Grand Hotel. After following the map, there's no sign of it - we're just in a fairly ordinary looking area in a back street. Then a huge gate opened into a carpark. Do we give that a try and the gate shuts behind us and we get stuck?? A phone call to the hotel and we're in the right place, just google maps takes you to the back. It turns out to be a nice place, particularly from the front.
We met our first Australians here. A couple living in Instanbul for the last 8 years have come for the wedding and brought another couple from South West Rocks along.
Hajid looked after us at the hotel - spoke really good English and just a lovely guy. He gave us a variety of foods to try for dinner.
