Aya Sofia …
Worlds largest building for nearly a thousand years !
I have been here many times, but it is still very impressive.
June 2024
World famous Pudding Shop …
In the 60’ies and 70’ies it was a meeting place for hippies travelling to or from Nepal.
I was here for the first time 40 years ago when I was backpacking in Turkey, and it turned out that one of the waiters had worked here for 44 years.
So I may actually have met this guy 40 years ago !!!! Amazing.
Arrived in Istanbul …
And a well deserved beer after surviving Istsnbul rush hour traffic 🍺
Burj al Babas …
Was a housing development project with 732 identical houses looking like small Disney castles.
The project went bankrupt when tge houses was nearly finished, and is now just a very weird abandoned ghost town !!!
Safranbolu …
Is on Unesco’s world heritage list because the town is unique with all the Old Ottoman era houses. (I stayed in one of them for the night)
Rear brake pads nearly gone …
But a quick call to my Yamaha dealer solved the problem.
They shipped a new set of brake pads to Moto Camp Bulgaria where I will arrive in a few days time 👍
Kavaranserei …
The Karavanserei’s was caravan hotels on the “Silk Road” trade route from the mediterranian sea to China,
This one in Sivas is 500 years old and is converted to a modern hotel.
A great place to stay 👍
