Day 9 Sinop – Trabzon

Day
Trip
Bike

Today wasn’t very eventfull – actually a bit boring since we had to do quite some miles. It was hot and the scenery was a bit monotonous, but maybe we just were not up to it.
One of the ‘highlights’ was the speed trap, where they clocked us doing 106 in a (apparently, but no sign) 80s zone. The cop started with 25% discount on the 156 turkish lira (25€) but that seemed too much still. So in the end his boss suggested the full amount- payable when we will receive the invoice posted to us in germany. We went for that option- lets see if anything will arrive.

Trabzon itself is very lively- almost more real and buzzing than most parts of istanbul. Not as big of course, but the biggest we have seen on the black seas coast.
We booked into a fairly nice hotel- not a dump but we were too knackered to look any further once we crossed the city at rush hour.
Tomorrow cleaning the bikes (trying to make a good impression on the russians on sunday) and then organize the ferry to Sotchi at 21:00.
