Amasra, not quite Amazing

An old town with Byzantine and Genoese castle wall remains. Little other interesting architecture. But pretty with a stone bridge to an island. Harbours either side. We followed overgrown paths up to the Temple of Poseidon. Hunted the stone blocks, as it was even more overgrown than the paths. Views and being away from the tourists was worth the climb.

The island we climbed
Corrie was not a fan of the English Setter, although she is half that breed

Tourist prices for all the tat. Pretty enough, but we just don’t like the commercialism or the tourists! We had a very good lunch.

My sea bream was perfectly cooked, so that was amazing. I kept trying for decent fish in Morocco, but it was always over cooked.

Slow drive from Amasra down to a National Park. Narrow roads. Subsidence and pot holes. Bends, hills and adverse camber. And biblical rain. My shoulders were tight. A few gins were purely medicinal.

Corrie chilly, so her ganzie came out. Don’t think I’ll need to shear her fur again

Discovered the roof light resealing done in the UK had been bodged. It leaked in heavy rain whilst driving. Fortunately for me, onto J’s side of the bed. Another trip to the motorhome repair in Ankara on our return trip, I think.
