Further east

I have left Istanbul late because I did not get up on time for the morning train, which I was taking bit further behind this big city. And so I departed at 16:15 to Eskisehir. People in train were very curious, me and other foreign co-traveller and fresh friend Ansiau from Paris (whom I met in Istanbul 2 days earlier and with whom also I had my first real turk kahvesi and other) have been questioned and interviewed by random nearby sitting passengers. It did not matter we would not share the language, their curiosity found its way to answer its questions. It was nothing that would bother, everybody was very friendly and polite. I was sitting next to elder guy who after buying me a tasty simit with ayran started to give me a vocabulary lesson of Turkish language. During this journey Cheerko found a place for me to stay, I was once again well looked after. My host Oz in Eskisehir has come to pick me up from train station and after short introduction to his flatmates we went out to see Eskisehir's 'Soho' where many people gather in these late hours. After few turkish brewed goodies we chilled out on the top of the roof. In the morning after hearty breakfast I made my way away. 2nd autostoping success has taken me for Çay in a little village. We gained a bit atention from the locals, especialy young boys, who drank one round of tea with us, talking about my journeys and advising με the way to go. My 3rd and last ride this day was very special. It was a VW oldschool caravan loaded with happy people and good moods. We travelled around between Eskisehir and Ankara, visiting all-made-of-wood mosque, kite surfing and having a huge dinner before dropping me off in Ankara. That is where I am know ready for next adventure!))
