June 12th - Day 10Veliko
to Istanbul (Turkey) To avoid the terrifying, stressful city traffic we've chosen a super hotel an easy loop off the motorway and on the sea beside a marina just a 20 minute cab ride from the city centre. McANDREW AND BELLM TRADING PLACES 'The
exotic city of Istanbul welcomed the Midnight Sun to Red Sea competitors
in today after 12 days and 4,800 kilometres of gruelling competition.
With the mosques and minarets making their distinctive outline in the
overcast skies, the cars pulled into the day’s final time control with
the promise of a well needed day of rest and repairs tomorrow. Day's total 625 kms |

June 14th - Day 12Istanbul
to Kusadasi (Turkey) We start the day with an 8 km drive alongside the 3,000 year walls of the original Byzantine city and onto a 55 minute jet ferry ride which very smartly saves us 170 kms by road and takes us onto the Asian side of this fascinating country. We're into that wonderfully remote and forgotten part of Turkey the tourist never sees with distant views to mountains and tiny villages untouched for 300 years. Regularities in the mountains on gravel before dropping down through the biblical town of Ephesus and to our resort hotel on the sea front. STREET PARTIES - AND THE GpNs CHARGING HARD 'After
a well earned rest day Rally leader Joe McAndrew lead a convoy of cars
through the early morning light onto a ferry which would take them for
a one hour ride across the Sea of Marmara into Asia Minor and Eastern
Turkey. Day's total 599 kms |
