6th May - 38 miles to Gebze. Use ferry to cross Bosphorus, 15 minute crossing costing 1.15 lira (42 pence). Paid 32 euro into Iranian Garanti Bank for visa application. I keep my fingers crossed that the application is successful.
Today I have no energy and feel exhausted from rest stop in Istanbul. I am very glad i spent time in the city, but it felt like being in an ant's nest. The freedom and individual identity of cycling was lost.
7th May - 70 miles to Hendek. All back to normal, recovered from rest in Istabul. Camping in shop owners garden tonight. The inherent hospitality here must be nurtured by something.

Good going Roger,
Sorry to hear your rest day in Istanbul exhausted you - another couple of thousand miles should soon sort you out!. Good luck with your visa application for Iran - take great care between Zaheden and Quetta though.
Caroline sends her love - we are both on jury service at present - very arduous, Sally has taken a photo of us sunbathing after being sent home early!.
Much love,
Ian and Sally
