Today I left the nice and beautiful Istanbul city heading off to the black sea on the north part of Istanbul, the weather was too cold and cloudy as usual, I cycled to reach the big bridge in Istanbul which connect tow Europe and Asian parts of Istanbul together, the road was mostly up hill to reach the entrance of the bridge, but it was interesting to see all Istanbul over the bridge, yes I went there but it was forbidden for cyclists and pedestrians along the way on the sidewalk, and the police stopped me to go, but in a second another policeman came with a motorbike and after a short discussion they decided to escort me on the bridge but on the sidewalk to pass and reach the Asian part, I asked them if I could take some photos, but the policeman said just keep going 
but the scenery was really great instead and I enjoyed a lot.
Then I looked to find a way to cycle on the coast and up to the black sea, the road was nice but very narrow and damaged as many trucks were riding on that roads, but I could reach the black sea and finally I’ve seen it from far a way. the weather was still cloudy and too cold and the green forest on the both side of the road made the weather much cooler, but it was really nice and beautiful place to ride on, I went to

Hey Mohammad,
long time since our last talk. I see that you changed your plans and modified itinerary “slightly”. What a wonderful trip :O I hope you are not too tired after a lot of cycling and still enjoy it. Happy and safe travels to you.

Hello Mohammad!
Maria told me about you and your wonderful trip. Because I am not able to go more than 50 kilometers on the bicycle (I’m to lazy and unexperienced) I really admire your long journey. Have a good time! Many greetings to Turkey!

Hi Mohammad,
It’s nice to see You exploring the world. A bike-trip over so many different countrys certainly widenes the perspective of everyone involved. The sportsman’s as well as the resident’s.
Many more travels!
