2015-04-26-Kutayha-to-Sile
26th-27th April 2015 Kutayha to Sile
Well yesterday started off pretty good.
A nice breakfast at a local bakery, a nice ride on some good roads, a pleasant stop to fuel up and have some tea but then.......Zumo (the GPS) decided to take us through the mountains on every "busted arse road it could find" was Maurice's description. It wasn't because of the switch backs (hairpins) or because they were narrow and had trucks coming the other way but because the road surface was atrocious. Oh I forgot to mention it was raining so the roads were wet.
Anyway the positive side was that the country side was gorgeous and in the end we ended up in Sile which is a small town on the black sea. One of the best things about it (other than the lighthouse) is we haven't heard any Australian, American or English ascents. Which means only local tourists which is perfect and the slow pace is giving us time to chill before hitting the big smoke of Istanbul tomorrow.
Our motel in Sile and some old chook with a good looking rooster!

Some of the sights around Sile.
We both think this could be an option for our next road trip :)
