Tag 44/45 - 17./18.10.2023

In the morning in daylight the situation looks a little better. The hotel has a decent breakfast. Then I drive through the town again. The first shops have reopened and the demolition excavators are working hard. The rubble is simply flattened, only the reinforcing steel is sorted out and driven away. However, I didn't see any cranes or reconstruction work. Then I'll leave the field, I'm supposed to go to Antalya today. But think. The left rear tire is flat on the highway near Adana. I manage to change the wheel pretty well, but when I look at the other tires and don't have a spare wheel with me anymore... I decide to drive to Adana and get four new tires. The workshop was very competent and gave me priority so that I could move on quickly. But Antalia is now too far. So I end up on a nice pitch near Silifke right by the sea. The water is warm enough for swimming. 11170 km

The next morning we had breakfast with the sound of the sea. It's quickly packed up and off we go. But I'm skipping Antalia because I don't want to drive into the city during rush hour. The next destination is Izmir, but I can't quite make it. The route from Antalia is great again. It goes into the mountains at over 1500 m. In Nazilli I lose my strength and look for a hotel. 11845km
