Zile

Amasya to Zile turned out to be a wonderful stage! İ am sorry to bother all of you with this beautiful, wonderful, super stuff but there is really little to complain about.
İf you look at the map you will notice the big fat road from Amasya to Turhal/Tokat. İn the spirit of my dear friend Alex İ did not go for that. İ chose the little one leading into the mountains. İ did not end up where İ planned but the landscape and the people on the way more than compensated.
Even the town of Zile is not a bad place to be. İ got directions to the hotel (İ guess there should be more though) directions being: head for the highest building! And for sure that worked!
İ stay in a little suite with two! TVs for less then İ paid for a rotten hole in another town.
İn the mountains İ looked for shelter from a upcoming rainstorm. İ ended up with and invitation to a marvelous lunch - thanks! The guy was staying with his parents - his mother unfortunately is ill - he is normally working in Almaty. İ guess İ was lucky!

Still everything is blossoming and it is just wonderful to glide down a narrow road after a hard day with bloomy trees left and right.
