The guide book said a pretty drive but difficult road. Pretty and not difficult. Another major road improvement underway. We have seen quite a number. No wonder the roads are generally good. Although I still manage to miss missing the odd pothole with the impact of rearranging the wardrobes!

One of the gates to the mosque and hospital
Each gate was different
Amazing the stonework still so detailed as built C1270

Narrow Ottoman town centre. We had cold drinks … it’s hot again 35C.

A couple of Sultan mausoleum
Thanks for turning on the lights

We slept in one of the town car parks, only disturbed by a barking dog. Not ours.
