This morning woke up early to replace the brake pads as I knew they were badly worn out. This was the 1st change since Beijing. Only changed the front ones as the rear were still good from a better quality. After the changed and did the fine alignment,I really felt good and safe going downhills. I gave myself a thumb-up "Good Job, Meng " as normally I am very lousy on brakes adjustment. Rode into Bartin at 1.00pm without realising . Bartin is not that big town as compared to Samsun but luckily I managed to cash out 100 euro to 166 ytl at Garanti Bank finally , after went thru' 4 other banks unsuccessfully. A real hassle and shame to a big name of Americon not Xpress. Settled in Baral Hotel for 25 ytl. Needed a really good rest.
