Tuesday, 18th March (2-nd day)

After a typically Turkish breakfast with different cheese kinds, olives, a sausage kind, however, richly salads and vegetables, different dry fodder (also muesli called), cooked eggs (thus softy, how we them like) and a Kaffe, very much in an unknown dissolvable kind tasted was as planned 7:30 the departure. The journey went along the country road 650 about the innerägäische plateau with the towns Burdur and Kütahya to Bozüyük and linking up further after the country road 200 (E90) to the daily objective about 550 km away Bursa. Barely we left the Mediterranean region, it caught in to be raining. Why we should be better then as in Germany which stand shortly before a cold spell which should be accompanied at the moment with rain and later with snow. Now – Happy Easter.

Because the heating was not employed yet, even the driver had problems with the clear view. The tip that it was relatively coldly in the bus the travel management justified that only the heating is to be turned up. Thus we clattered together even other kilometers, until the first rest was waiting. It would have been reasonable to stop briefly and employ the heating – what would have been a stop of maximum two minutes – however, would have solved on a blow all problems – those of the freezing travel team and those of the driver with his fitted slices.

The Turkish driving style needs getting used to for the self-controlled Germans. Curve edges with an easy, but also double locking line, by places with 80 or speed limitations ignore, call up mobile phone during the journey I often observed. Even several times I saw how vehicles happened with the Dark red traffic light crossroad, while faithfully our bus driver waited.

Against 11:30 we reached the restaurant in which we wanted to take the lunch. Our tour guide pointed to the menu form which interpreted, however, the restaurant in the basement of hotel Kolayli in the town Afyon furnished differently. Restaurant – this is a little bit highly weight-bearing and concept wrong here – one felt to be rather in a school supply. The head referred that four plates belong to food: hors-d'oeuvre, salad, main food and dessert. As far as in order – if not 4 single food elements were selectable. Thus we decided to a presoup, selected as the second meat and when I asked as an addition for rice, I was turned down, because I have already selected 2 food. Therefore there were also no vegetables. Because, however, my woman already had Pilse on her plate instead of meat – of course also nothing received other in addition, we could compensate together it. As the third plate we puck up the arranged salad plate which we did not want, actually, at all. Some fellow-passengers would have taken this salad plate with pleasure, however, apparently the number was so limited that he reached only for the first ones. As desserts there were the fancy cake pieces unusual for Germans which were watered with viscous-sweet water. A fellow-passenger did not take part in this play, read everything lie without something to food. Because we had one-hour midday, we used a visit in the shoe store. Successfully I became with two pair of well-arranged and very light leather shoes.

The construction is unusually strong. However, in almost all places new housing developments – many streets also originate whole settlements in a uniform house type – often from lively paints varied. But also the old houses are still to be found which reflect a miserable Land-aber also town life. And as already described – richly garbage and construction rubble-Haufwerke.

Along the country roads, in the places, however, also in towns often seen – to sheep and nanny goats stoves, however, also both stamp combined the picture.

Against 16:45 we reached the daily objective – Bursa, the first capital of the osmanischen empire and attended the big mosque. For the protection of the national specific features the women dressed up before the entrance with a headscarf, we did not need to notice the other practise on grounds of the chill temperatures and the occasional light rain with the matching clothes – they been unnecessary. Linking up we had time to visit the old silk bazaar, before reached it in hotel "Holiday Inn about 18 o'clock. The position was something off the town – the evening company urge remained to a certain extent – after this power tour no fellow-passenger also still seemed to have big initiative. With some glasses of our special drink we also slumbered early one. Also this night the usual holiday length should not have – the alarm call service of the hotel was reserved on 5 o'clock. Then – short good night.
