2012 Photos: Stages 30 - 36

Stage 30     Svilengrad - Edirne

 Not far. Can't believe I'm nearly in the promised land.

Getting closer

Stage 31     Edirne - Kesan  No photos for this stage

Stage 32     Kesan - Canakkale

 First sight of the Mediterranean..........

 ........as I came down the hill after Kesan

 Mediterranean ahead - just down the hill

 Later on across the peninsula is the Dardanelles. Mainland Turkey in the distance.

    

 

The Dardanelles crossing - from Eceabat to Canakkale

Bikey having a well-earned rest on the ferry to Canakkale

Stage 33     Canakkale - Ayvacik

Hiroshi from the hostel in Canakkale with random staff member  before I set off in the morning. That beard will have to go

Stage 34     Ayvacik - Ayvalik

View from the hotel bedroom in Ayvalik as I settled in. Less than £20 B & B.

Stage 35     Ayvalik - Yenisakran

Sparrer Legs and Cumhur before I left his beautiful place. The beard went the night before. 

 Cumhur outside his hotel. His surname was Sozer. No, not Keyser Soze (but I was nice to him just in case.)

View over the bay in Yenisakran as I went for my meal........

.........and the sun going down as I made my way back.   

Stage 36     Yenisakran - Izmir

All set and ready to go again
