I had the option again whether to continue with the coastal road to Bartin or Zonguldak or go inland to Boyabat or Kastamonu tomorrow cos' the junction just in front of where I set up my tent. The ride on coastal road is getting harder with very steep climbs,I really felt tired even my lightest gear was stressed to the limit and that not good to the chain.But the inland road also have high pass of 1330m as shown from the map. That means I am surrounded by mountains! Either way I had to be at my best to face the challenge.So my friends out there.Keep following my blog,the days ahead are getting more and more interesting....

Was that Meng's `sweet sour sausage' special minus the tomato sauce? And...by the way, keep flexing those muscles and you can definitely win Mr Malaysia very soon! Wooohooo! Happy trails to you, Meng.
Hi Meng,
Nice to hear that you are safe, sound and muscular. Just to let you know that Ramadan is starting soon, dont know whether shops are open or food available in the daytime in Turkey.
Ramadan in Singapore and Malaysia? ....I think there's more food all day at the markets!
Ride well, eat well and camp well! Paris is on the horizon!
Best regards, Chris Wee
Hi there Mr. SS 19,
Wow, you have a solid body after almost 5 months on the road. By the way, and out of curiosity, who snapped all those nice photos of yours since you are travelling on your own. One of your top secret companion(s)perhaps....hehehe...
Take care and safe journey...
Cheers...........

Meng,
The fruit you have on photo is called blackberry. Very commom in Canadian bush.
It is edible, kind of sour and sweet, very good to make jam with.

If you check in Google with Blackberry, u know what u will get.
Many listings with blackberry message devices in black! If you look further, u will find a photo of real blackberry exactly like the one you have.
Actually blackberry message tool was first developed and made popular in Canada where blackberry is very common in the bush. They first called them strawberry as the keys are so small like berries, then change to blackberry. They are still all in black, any other colour yet?
