We spent several days in the area populated by the Kurdish people, or as the locals say, Kurdistan – causing sorrow for the Turkish natives. We had a constraint-rest day which we spent in a fuel station in the middle of the hot and glowing steppe. The reason why: diarrhea. Misi was quite sure about
The moon lit these statues, which provided a very mystical view. I just felt some really magical and ancient feeling. It was like entering another world, time travel to an ancient time. This was definitely creepy feeling. We set up the tent about 50 meters apart from these statues. In the morning it was worth
On the day of departure we wished to watch the air ballons on the sky, which is absolutely a general thing in Cappadocia in the mornings. As we stepped out of Abdullah’s cottage, we saw two balloons on the sky. We didn’t know, whether they just started to take off or they have already finished.

On day 11 we experienced the border crossing of Turkey. It was sooo fine to see the whole ambience changing meter by meter.

Bulgarian hospitality smiled on us as we arrived at the city of Panagyurishte. We felt like having an abundant meal after the morning pass-climbing.
