This is where I spent the few hours of sleep

I got up at 10:45 when it started raining. I took shelter and hit the road when the rain stopped after midday.

My biking did not have the usual vigor and I made several tsai stops at gaz stations on the way. Gaz stations can be very friendly places when you ride a bicycle.

Beautiful mosque on way to Surmene

This town has kept the old name

Entering Surmene

Surmene

Once in Surmene, I started looking for a hotel. My first attempt as at Ogretman Evi (Teachers House,) arguing that I was a teacher too. Unfortunately there were no available rooms. I ended up at the other end of town at hotel Oz-Ay
