It was bright and sunny in the morning when we left the cave
hotel, however we was told to expect possible showers in the afternoon.
The roads were great, flowing mountain roads with some
excellent scenery to enjoy as we rode towards the south of Turkey. There were
four of us riding together at one point and we all got pulled in at a Police
check point, not for speeding though. We think they were just curious because
we were clearly foreigners on big bikes so we all shook hands, smiled and
handed over our passports for checking which took several minutes by a couple
of guys in their office at the side of the road.
The main highlight of the day was at the end of the ride
where we got to see Mount Nemrut. Once we got to the hotel, checked in and
waited for a passing hail storm to pass over, it was just a few miles ride up to
the visitor centre , then a short shuttle bus ride further up the mountain and
a short but tiring walk to the top. The skies cleared up and we had good views
all round at the top. I even sent a couple of text messages from my GPS tracker
device whilst standing at the top of the mountain.
