| It has taken us 7 months and
35,000 kilometers to reach this part of the world ! On November 2nd 2001, we reached
km 145,417 on our way south of Sivas in North-Eastern Anatolia . After
having spent the night in our rooftop tent our thermometer indicated a
very cool -2 degrees C. ! Camping in sub-zero temperatures is not that
comfortable !

|
|
| We were following a small and
winding country road and finding it difficult to remember to stop as km
counter hit the exact figure. Around us that beautiful sunny morning was
typical Turkish countryside. Snow covered hills in the distance and large
areas of sun-burnt grass. What had been grown that year had been cut some
time ago and many farmers were burning the remains.

Except for the rare tractor humming along, life seems to have changed very little in this part of the world.
