After night in hotel and little walk in waking Gerede, we headed to Ankara.
Turkish hospitality is endless.
We were picked up by a driver who bought us pears, took us to restaurant for a çai and turkish desert.
Near Ankara a bus stopped for us in the middle of the road.
We said: autostop, para yok
They said: gel gel, problem yok
In Ankara we were supposed to meet our host Asli in Kızılay center. We came off from the bus near a metro station. As we had no turkish money (after 3 days in turkey it was still not necessary) we asked if they accept if we buy the tickets for dollars or euros. They did not.
Lots of people gathered around us, one tryed to help us in German, the other in English.
Finally, as it is custom in Turkey - problem yok - so, the ticket sellers and security opened the gates for us for free...
Thank you, Asli, for your hospitality and help !
