Today the truck visits Troy, but I am learning to be a cheapskate, as this is a long trip after all. I do not go in as I was advised that at 15 TL it wasn’t worth it. Those who did go in say I made the right choice. The main attraction seemed to be a replica Trojan horse.
Turkey is not necessarily a cheap place to go on holiday. Beer, the most important of commodities on this trip, is often at UK prices or above. In Romania and neighbouring Bulgaria, a large bottle of beer was equivalent to about 70p.
Keep on trucking.....
This is the story of my 32 week London to Sydney overland trip on a big orange truck with 30 odd other people.....and what happens after.. I try to find the best pizza in the world. I test the limits of endurance of my T-shirts in the hunt for the most bizarre location in which to bump into a fellow fan of the band 'The Fall'. Slightly more successfully, I try to take a guitar to as many of the world's monuments as I can. Finally, I confront the greatest cultural divide of them all...toilets.
