A day in Urgup(Turkey)
I was right about the hotel not bad at all ... slept well after several G&Ts and a chat with a Turkish guy who invited us into his bedroom to view an original condition Matchless he said it was 1951 and either he, the bike or both were escorts for the Shah of Iran - no not that kind of escort think motorcycle outriders. I'd have enjoyed staying but we soon overran our Turkish / English linguistic capacity…so if you know anyone who wants a 1951 Matchless… Had a good meal in town a "Pot Kebab"; meat and vegetables sealed in a pot; pastry put over the end then you knock it off ... see pictures. Up at 4AM for a balloon ride over the rock formations; actually not bad would have been boring but we got the main man a Swiss guy who used to be the world record holder and he did some profiling - landing in trees bouncing of rocks etc - he landed the basket directly onto the trailer ... amazing. I spent the rest of the day working; well rough with the smooth etc. Good day overall.
