Day 17 (Erzincan)

Because Erzincan was only a short drive from Goreme we got a lie in and didn't have to leave Flintstones until checkout time at 10.30am..wahoo!

There isn't a whole lot to report from day 17 however, we got to Erzincan and found it to be a much bigger place than we'd expected given we'd been told there was nothing to do there. A couple of us went walkabout to see what we could get by way of food while keeping a lookout for a post office for postcards. We found both, getting most of the cards in the post (the rest had to wait until our last day in Turkey) before eating in a local fast food restaurant. I went for pizza for a change as I'd been eating kebap or shish kebap pretty much every day since we arrived in Turkey.

As the Iran border was fast approaching and we were therefore going to be under a drinking ban for a while, we went to an offie down the road from the hotel and got some booze to bring back. That was pretty much all we got to do in Erzincan.
