This week is a week full of stories to myself. Earlier on Friday my Turkish friends and I had participated in a series of events in several places in Sakarya. Like the old Aga mosque in downtown Adapazari, the capital of Sakarya. After that proceed to the two museums. The first is the Earthquake museum, Deprem Muzesi. But unfortunately when we wanted to enter the museum, the museum officer explained that the museum was being repaired so we were not allowed to enter. Kedya, we visited the Sakarya museum. I am less interested in this one museum, I prefer to call it a village people's stilt house rather than a museum. Not only that, the last time we visited Maltepe Kent, from Maltepe Kent we can see directly the city of Sakarya from the top of a 10 meter long tower.


The next day I was invited by the boarding abi-abi (hostel clerk) to take part in a trecking along the approximately 20 km in doğal yürüyüsü. This is an interesting experience, I thought, I did not think long, I immediately said yes to going with other Turkish friends. The unique thing about this hike is that I am the only foreigner who participated in this event. Even though I had one Turkish acquaintance, it made me not talk much along the way. The journey itself starts from eight o'clock until arriving at the destination at about 11 turkish time. We start climbing in the middle of the harsh weather, the road is muddy and muddy.




Approximately there are about 70 people who came to the group this time and interestingly this program is specifically held by the city government of Sakarya for those who are interested in joining the climb. Alhamdulillah, I am one of the few people who get a free opportunity to join the hike. All round trip bus costs and some equipment are provided by the committee. Even so, the cold weather in the summer was so piercing that there weren't any words I could say to describe that Sunday morning.
