I will take next week off and go first to Sinop, the most northern city in Turkey ... there is a camp there and some friends from Romania want to go for it so I am joining as well. After we will go to Capadoccia to see that weird stuff and then reach the south-western part of Turkey. We might go hiking on the mountain next to Bursa, go to Izmir, Pamukale, Bodrum and other touristic places. We will decide on the way where and when we will go, we are very cool about it :)
I drew with the pen on this map the itinerary :)
That feels good! Yeaaah! I am quite addicted to travelling but I am bit dissapointed there is no passport stamping involved this time :P ...
I went to Jordan earlier in July and was amazing and realized once again how much I like disovering new and different places! Just love it! And remember please my goal of going to 50 countries for at least a 1 week! I counted and now I am at 11 so still a long way to go! But Brazil is next!!! :D
I am going to Brazil for about a week attending IC for a few days and then taking some days off to go to Rioooo! :P that will make it 12! :D
There was a time when I was crazy about going to Brazil, now I am more cool about it but it's still like a dream coming true. I still want to live in South America for some time, a few years ... I'll see where life takes me ... I have no doubts the bag is full of surprises :)
But now a sad thing which shakes me a bit ... I was initially thinking about going to Eastern Turkey to mount Ararat for example. I anyways decided not to go but today a colleague who heard me talking about going there told me it is not a good idea at all ... with the PKK being all angry and the recent terrorist atacks happening in Istanbul ... the country is not safe in my eyes and Eastern Turkey is said to be the least safe of all regions ...
In July 23 people died in Istanbul as a result of terrorist atacks, first at the US embassy and yesterday near a shopping mall ... wow! It is something really hard to get used to and accept as part of daily life!
But I go on with my vacation plan ...
