and we come to the last part of the Turkish silk road and my way out of Turkey.From our crossing the Van Lake, the road has transported us more and more back in time, with its impressive christian monasteries, regional castles and caravan rest stops along the silk road... with the Ararat mountain overlooking every step, we say our goodbyes......
Akdamar monastery. A last post of resistance from the christians (armenians) before Islam came to these lands....
up and down the road winds, on the ups, we feel as if looking straight into Ararat; when coming down it's only the tip we get to see as we hang on to our hat not to drop it: 80kph winds help a bit too much on the descend.....
great people I get to meet, and even play photographer for some of their outings :)
