Dear all friends
Unfortunately I couldn’t get in touch with you and updating my website earlier than this for two reasons; first I’ve been getting lazy for a while at the end of my journey in Turkey and the second one is that I couldn’t find a good internet cafe to update my website in the first city Aleppo (Halab) in Syria and I don’t want to loose my journey information with the low internet connection. Today is 29th of May and I’m in the capital of Syria, Damascus. but for now I would like to tell the rest of my journey story in Turkey.
after Bala city I cycled to the other city named Kirshehir on the way I past some small cities as well such as Kaman and the road mostly was off road and under the construction and I had a hard time those days with cycling but it was good, in one of the off road up hills a tractor driver asked me if I want to put the bike on the back side of the tractor and join him till over the hill and at the end he invited me for having lunch in his home, and I accept it because I was very hungry and I really would like to meet the Turkish people in their home and talk to them they were a great family like others that I

Hi Mohammad,
It’s so nice to read your stories and to see your pictures. From Cappadocia and Konya we took almost the same pictures.
It’s a long trip you are making right now. You see beautiful landscapes and cities and meet a lot of friendly people. You will never forget this journey.
We keep following you on your road ……..
Greetings from Holland

congratulations.you are such a brave person, i really admire you. what you are doing is not sth every one can do, so many peopel may like to(including me) but peopel like you who do it are very rare, so i think you can be proud of yourself. travel by your own in other countries and by a bike its awesome. enjoy every moment of it. Im sure when you are back home you will be a much more experianced person, good for you. wish you a safe travel.
