Continued south and eastwards a little inland from the Mediterranean Coast. The day consisted of a lot of uphill as we battled through the mountains. Ended the day in a normal Turkish town in a rather shabby hotel. Later in the evening when we stepped out to look for food we were accosted by one of the many blokes that hang around in the hotel lobby. He insisted that we follow him rather than eat next door. He proceeded to lead us down many dark alleys to a brightly lit self service canteen. He got us trays and hovered about as we selected our dishes. Having thought he was going to take us for a ride it turned out to be quite the opposite and he paid for our dinner and refused to be reimbursed. Back at the hotel we had a mime and stunted English conversation with all the hotel guys about our trip and Turkey in general.

Isn't that amazing - they take pity on poor English cyclists.....
So when are you planning on coming back to the UK? Will you be back by November?
We have a busy weekend - out with Alex's workfriends tonight, tomorrow we are sailing on the Bay and then on Sunday meeting up with a friend and her baby at the Park before heading off for a bite to eat.
Hope to talk soon - will try you!
love
BigSis
