Ordu

Ordu is a nice little city in the Black Sea Region. Yes it is in Turkey. I was still in Turkey. I like this country and its people. Turkish people are welcoming, warm, caring, funny, interesting, happy, joyful, and sooooo clean (!) With their beautiful country, there is nothing to envy Europe. Entering Europe would be a terrible mistake, according to me, of course. They would loose their culture, their autonomy for international decisions, their traditional ways of farming and producing (like the eastern Europe countries lost), their great role of being the gate between European and Asian cultures and lands, and many things that I am not aware of (yet!). The sad point is Turkey can be very powerful in a few years, and will probably follow exactly the same way than the western countries followed. We know, now, that is not the right one. 

Whatever, it was not easy to leave. "You may stay here for ever", some say! It was not the plan, however. For Ordu, the plan was to enjoy the Black Sea, the mountains around, talk about hazelnuts harvesting and give some rest to my gut. Thanks to Muhammed, I could go around without worrying about toilets! It was raining in the toilets too lololololol 2 days out of 3. I like it! not in the toilets. The good point about my intestin problems was that I kind of experimented the Ramazan (Turkish ramadan) before it ends.

Le dernier Pide & Ayran... snif... ça va me manquer

Là, on prend le funiculaire, parce qu'on est paresseux. Mais il pleut quand même ! Et après, c'est la vue de là-haut, avec brouillard en option


Alors là on était contents parce qu'on redescendait de la montagne à pied, ma cheville a tenu (tout juste) 500m de dénivelé
