Miles: 178Countries: GeorgiaStops: Lanchkhuti -> Zestaponi ->Playlists: Vocal Trance It's a little cheating since I'm starting with yesterday today. After our swim, we got on the road and drove until we got into Batumi downtown. We needed to find a place with wifi since Georgia is outside of the Roaming Zone for Rogers. Of course the only place we found for food was a Turkish restaurant, so we had a shawarma and Iskender kabob again ... I must say... I think it was better than the one we had IN turkey! SOOO good. We used their wifi and got Georgian...

Miles: 480Countries: TurkeyStops: Cappadocia -> random pit stop -> YesilyaliPlaylists: Epic Guitar Solos, Motivational SongsIt was an early 4am morning and it was 100% worth it.The scenery... once we took off... the first thing we saw was a mountain all carved out with windows and doors and gardens; people still lived there! So hard to wrap your head around it, even when looking right at it! Our pilot brought us right down as if we were going to land in the garden and then lifted us way up high to see the entirety of Cappadocia. He did an impressive landing...
Day 27: I whip my hair back and forth

Miles: 140Countries: TurkeyStops: Konya-ish -> Cappadocia Playlists: Epic Songs (Spotify)We woke up early enough to be happy with our progress and potential start to the day only to somehow lose 2 hours sitting at the gas station restaurant drinking tea and coffee. We packed up the car and felt we had to mourn our last comrade that flew out the window yesterday. We built a cross out of sticks, put on the remaining moose head, and bid our farewells. It was a fun ride of wailing as per usual at the top of our lungs and as off key as...

Miles: 277Countries: TurkeyStops: Antalya-ish -> Antalya -> Side -> Konya ->Playlists: Epic Songs (Spotify)So that rooster we mentioned last night? That asshat decided to serenade us, not once, not twice, not even three times, but every 5 minutes on the dot for 2 hours straight. We gave up trying to sleep, got up and packed our car as he stood watching with his beady little eyes. Justin finally got the chance to do some car stuff. He checked the oil to find it hella low, and he finally changed the lightbulb that's been out for 2 weeks. Meanwhile I glued...
Day 23.2: If you've ever lost every part of yourself If you've left your heart on a lonely avenue It will be only a matter of time Before your life comes through for you
2 Moose on the Loose Car Mongol Rally travel Turkey YOLO
Miles: 256Countries: turkeyStops: Ankara -> not even sure where. Playlists: Keep Holding On by Avril Lavigne followed by both of DJ Bruno's sets to get us going. It was a quite ride for a while. We were bummed and just had to gtfo out of Ankara. It wasn't even that we received bad news there, there just wasn't anything there. It's a government/embassy/university city and a major transportation hub. I'm sure its arts and culture scene is as good as they claim, but we didn't see it on a Monday afternoon. We, did, however, see plain chaos, at every corner....
