Our first stop this morning, the “set” from friends for a coffee, and well for me, a waffle as well. I am known to have a slight attitude problem if I don’t eat. It was well done and the coffee was good.

Stop number 1: A stunning field for some sun baking, beers in hand and clothes off, lets enjoy the sun for once. We all got a little burnt. But it was worth the stop.

We follow it up with a neat little suspension bridge that we of course went and jumped on. That’s required.

After all this it is time to visit the fertility cave. The cave that looks like fun. It’s a big hike in, so once again Asareh volunteers as tribute to chill with Pina in the car. And we are off. It’s a solid hour up and down minimum. But the views are great, last time I was here it was empty, today we had some foot traffic so there was a wait to enter. As always, worth the walk for the jokes alone. The view is okay too. It was cooking today though, and the water actually started running low on the return route. I will say this, it was easier to walk now than when ice covered in the winter.

With the hike completed and the sun getting low, which also means more rain, we stop in at the golden eye casino, returning guests of course. We go clean up, and head down for drinks and a bit of fun. Our technique is we just jump machines non stop. Asareh is just pressing buttons like mad for fun, next thing the machine is going crazy, long story short, it paid for the rooms, the fuel and food plus I still have cash from left from a second trip worth of fuel through Bulgaria. Worth it!! They have free drinks and of course smoking. Plus, all meals are free so for the 30 bucks for a room its totally worth the stop even if you don’t gamble as its 5 minutes from the Turkiye border.
