Day 165: Orhangazi to Mudanya

Damp camping

We were so excited to get our tents out again we didn’t bother to check the weather and we woke to the sound of raindrops on canvas. It didn’t look like stopping for a while, so wet tents were packed away and we set off in rain jackets. 

We had a good breakfast in town and then carried on along the main road.  

As we created the ridge and headed down to the coast the sky brightened and we could remove so wet weather kit. We were also able to head off the main road onto a quieter back road that was much more pleasant. We were winding our way through olive groves before we hit the coast road.  

Drying at last after a wet morning

As we headed along the coast road on a cliff above the water it was just like we were on the Esplanade on the Mornington Peninsula.

We stopped quite early today as there doesn’t appear to be a lot of accommodation further along the coast, so we can do a good turn tomorrow and get to another town.
