After a major discussion at breakfast, whether we should take a ferry across the sea of Marmara or drive around it, we decided to hit the road. it was again a nightmare getting out of Istanbul with traffic and the cars driving like go-carts. Drove all along the coast towards Troy, sailed across on a small ferry, which connects the sea of Marmara with the Aegan Sea. Hit the small town of Canakkle. Did about 450 km in about 4 hours. The roads were good and traffic thinned out.
In the small town of Canakkle we got totally lost trying to find our hotel. Thank god a helpful Turk showed us the way, by driving ahead of us. Our hotel is in a small alley which is a dump, but we anyway checked in, had lunch and a good afternoon nap.
Went for a walk around town, Daniel was only looking at the babes and they get 9 out of 10 compared to Istanbul, and they also dress more westernized here. Sat and played cards in a café by the harbor, and had a great dinner afterwards.
Efter at have overvejet om det kunne betale sig at tage en færge fra Istanbul over Marmeris havet besluttede vi os for, bare at køre ned langs vestkysten. Igen var det et helvede at køre i Istanbul, men vi fandt dog ret nemt ud på motorvejen vestpå. Vi kørte så sydpå mod Troja, ca 450 km fra Istanbul. En smuk tur, hvor vi så mange oliven træer, de er bare over alt. Vi tog en lille færge over strædet som forbinder Marmeris havet med det Ægæiske hav og kom så over til Canakkle, hvor vi fandt en lille hotel pension, ikke et alt for godt sted, men billigt. Vi gik ud og fandt noget frokost. Daniel legede med skildpadderne i haven og Daniel og jeg spillede lidt bordtennis. Senere gik vi ned til havnen hvor vi spillede kort og drak te. Alt i alt en hyggelig dag. I morgen er vi klar til ruinerne ved Troja.
