    Day 1 & 2
    The dream is starting

    And at last time has come and it is the 25th of august, the long expected day.


    [​IMG]


    Backpacks are loaded and i pressed the starter.


    [​IMG]

    We meet in Opet facilities on TEM highway.

    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    After having a delicious meal in Ulusoy facilities on Bolu mountain,
    We spot our loaction in my extreme map.
    Then we set off.


    [​IMG]

    About nightfall we skip our target Sivas and,
    at the end of about 600 kilometres we decide to stay the night in Yozgat Tourism and Hotel School.


    [​IMG]

    The hotel was really clean and the prices were quite reasonable.

    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    Thanks to the hotel staff they didn`t leave our bikes outside throughout the night. ​

    [​IMG]

    we`ve prepared our bikes and fixed our eyes to Sivas with excitement.

    [​IMG]

    With such determination it didn`t take long to reach Sivas. We got there approximately in 1 hour.

    [​IMG]

    In city center we took a breath and drank our teas. ​

    [​IMG]

    I took the first wacth for the bikes.
    Cem and Ozan went to see the twin minarets and the medresseh.

    Excellent pics aren`t they.
    Man is proud of his country.. :wink: Anyway let`s continue for journey.

    [​IMG]

    Now we reach Kangal famous for its magnificent dogs.
    we saw the farms on the left but we didn`t linger in order not to depart from the road and pass the TASYOL ( rocky road ) at night.

    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    we continue our journey and come to the hot springs which are famous for their fishes.

    [​IMG]

    The speciality of these springs are the fishes which cure skin diseases by eating the diseased tissue on your body . As I`ve heard that I jumped directly into the water

    I really like the way you're setting up this report. The way you've selected the pictures to tell your story.

    Thank you.
