Way to Ordu

After a few days of neverending eating and resting the time to start the second part of our journey has come. Today our destination was Ordu. As always the biggest challenge was to get out of the city. However  we tried to prepare ourselves for that by using hitchwiki, ın reality we were sent from bus stop to another bust stop before we found some guy who said:

-I will find the dolmus for you.

İnteresting thing that was since the guy sat us in the near cafe shouted to the waiter to have some cay and introduced us as 2 yabancı who go to Ortakoy. Worth mentioning is very specific sense of time which we noticed among people of Turkey. It looks something like that:

-When will the bus come ?

-İt is coming now.

...5minutes later...

-When will the bus come?

-In 2 minutes. Would you like to more cay ?

Sometimes it will never come, but this time we were lucky and soon got on the bus to our destination.

After getting out of Ankara we luckily we got the lift to Çorum with some businessman who was responsible for delivery of asphalt for new turkish roads. (cok yenı yolları burası:)...

 In Çorum we got a lift from nice guy who works in PR agency. He took us to Samsun and had offered a çorba.

 Then we went to Fatsa and Ordu, where we were hosted by Ali and Maaike. We had great vegetarian meal with them. This time we were really lucky as we encountered people who extremely experienced in budget travelling as found out Maaike travelled from the Netherlands to Turkey in just 3 days. Ali has travelled around whole Turkey by hitchhiking.
