🇹🇷 Türkiye

The wind drove us from the tea plantation and we began an overnight move with no fixed plan. A border crossing with a surprise included, Batumi full of contrasts and an ending with cakes, candles and a camper in calm.

An entire city vanished under the water, impossible roads through the mountains, and a gigantic statue of Atatürk watching over Artvin from the heights. And we ended up sleeping among tea plantations and flying cable cars.

We survived another of Papi Edu's "shortcuts" through snow, bends and mountains. I ended up becoming famous in a remote museum and we almost slept next to a river, flood warning included.

We crossed a snow-covered mountain pass, I nearly froze my paws off taking heroic photos, and we ended up sleeping hidden away in a quarry. Chuly-level travel glamour.

We climbed up to royal tombs carved over two thousand years ago into the Amasya mountain. Then came one of those long road-trip days, endless springs, and falling asleep without even knowing where we have ended up.

Today I explored a giant castle above Amasya, strolled between Ottoman houses by the river and my humans ended up being scrubbed and pummelled in a Turkish hammam. I preferred to keep watch over the campervan.
