We spent all of yesterday at Larelzar Campground just catching up on chores and generaly vegin-out. Today we spent some time in the town of Dogubayazit mostly looking for an internet cfe that had wifi so that we could connect with our own computer. There must be a dozen internet cafes in a 2 block area of this town however all but one of them has no wifi, they cannot connect a laptop via their wiring and their computers all work in Turkish. Eventually we observed that the customers of these establishments are almost exclusively local boys.

After all the chores and a little run in with a group of unruley boys climbing all over the truck we hit the road generally heading towards Lake Van.

As the day wore on the sun made an appearance and we traveled through mountainous farm land all afternoon.


Not long after the road started running beside Lake Van we came upon a picnic area and decided this would do for the night. Just after we stopped a German couple and their 2 children in a converted UPS van stopped to say hello. They are on their way to Iran, Pakistan and India.
