May 30 - Turkey!!!!!

On the road by about 6:30 and reached the Turkish border by about 8 am. Pleasant surprise: Swiss cititzens don't need a visa. Yay, just saved €15!
Long busy road heading to Istanbul. 50km of it are currently being redurfaced so there were several construction zones to get through. We came past a construction crew about to have lunch and in typical, hospitable Turkish style, they called and waved us over to join them. In Turkey, construction crews always get their food delivered by a caterer so as soon as we had rested the bikes against the boss' truck, each of us was given a tray with soup, yogurt, breaded meatballs, bulgur and an entire loaf of bread. The meal was followed by a cup of Ayran (watered down yogurt drink, super refreshing).
THANKS SO MUCH GUYS FOR THE SUPER NICE WELCOME!
