Today was not going to be sightseeing but a nice ride out to the coast and the seaside city of Kusadasi. I'm not sure whether the town is famous for anything other than for the number of huge cruise ships stop here for the tourists to come and visit Ephesus.
We hit the road around 9.30am and took the highway to Kusadasi about 21kms away. The road was flat until we hit the main highway and immediately we started climbing. When we hit the top, we got to see the Turkish coast and very expensive 5 star resorts hanging to cliffs. Once again the views were spectacular and we had a great day to enjoy the ride.
Our main aim for today was to go to 'Starbucks' coffee shop. Len wanted to go and buy some coffee for the rest of the trip and 21kms was what it took for one way.
We found the coffee shop which was straight across from the harbour and beach. We just sat down and enjoyed the coffee and carrot cake whilst watching the bathers. It was a very tough morning. We rode back to Selcuk, put the bikes away, cleaned up and went up town for a haircut. Both Len and Peter have made very unkind comments about my appearance lately and suggested I should have a make over, but at this stage a hair cut will have to do.
Tomorrow we start the ride to Turgutlu.
Until tomorrow, safe riding.
