Adana

The lake at Adana

Along the road fruit stalls with veggies and fruits

Finally, we are in Turkey. Jordan is not big, the distance we have to cover in Syria is also limited, but who ever thought we would be home once we reached Turkey is wrong! it is a huge country and there are so many historical things to see and to do. But our party notices that we are a little bit tired. Thus we have to be realistic and only do and see some things in Turkey and skip the rest for another time perhaps.

Turkey is modern, good roads, nice people and for the first time Helma can walk in shorts without problems. Turkey is great!

The Adana Mosque
Our first stop after the border is Adana where we tried to camp, but the campsite had ceased to exist, so it was a room again with a very nice swimming pool. The swimming teacher used the boys as guinae pigs to demonstrate all the strokes for their pupils. we noticed that is was humid hot, but nice. Our lights of the breaks were not working so we stopped at a Nissan dealer where we treated, with lunch, watermelon etc. What a service and they fixed the car as well! After all that it was time to move on to Kappadokya.
