It's exactly one month before my birthday and although no one knew this I was showered with early gifts as I departed Kesan. As I mentioned yesterday the generosity and kindness of the people here in Kesan was unrivaled to anything i have experienced and this is saying a lot. I was overwhelmed by everything I received from everyone and If there was anything I could do in return I wouldn't hesitate to do it.
My experience in Kesan will never part from me as this is the soul reason why I love touring the world on a bicycle - it's always about the people you meet.
I left a happy chap and today's weather greatly worked in my favor with strong tail winds blowing me east towards Istanbul.
I didn't expect to cover the distance that I did but I'm glad that I did as now I am only 85km or so from where I'll be relaxing for a couple of days.
Turkey and your people, so far you have been amazing!IMG_2951IMG_2952
