Having a day off in Erzurum turned out to be a good idea, it rained on and off for most of the day including some thunder, not exactly nice weather for riding.

Day 43, 44 & 45 – Sinop to Trabzon and Erzurum
Lovely start to Day 43 with a guy drilling right outside my window at 7.30 after going bed at about 1am. He was balancing on some beams for an awning and drilling above his head, they're not much for scaffolding around here.

The plan is to ride from the UK to New Zealand, through Turkey, Kazakhstan, China, Pakistan, India, SE Asia and Australia, among other places. I'm riding … Continue reading Intro: WTF Am I Doing
