This morning the wind would not let up, it was strong, relentless and constantly blew me about the road perilously close to the cliff edge that ever increased in height.
The what seemed to be the only downhill was sketchy too, I had to slow right down ( although the wind was doing that for me) but I knew if I went too fast I would almost certainly crash by being blown off the road.
On my way though Tasuçu I stopped off to see the hotel owner who I last stayed with before getting the ferry over to Cyprus. I was offered a plethora of drinks and snacks as he was delighted to see me all better, a fantastic man and although he was ill he constantly smiled.
Heading closer to Mersin I slipped off the main road and headed closer to the beach where I stumbled across a deserted holiday home resort, it seemed like the perfect place to camp for the evening and as I write this I have the sounds of the waves crashing on the beach.
