Passing mountainous volcanic rock outcrops was the order of the day. A long, too long really, day in the saddle largely on the main highway. Limited climbing made it possible from Konya to Karaman.
The fortress in Karaman goes back to the Karamanid era which established itself between the periofs of the Seljurk Turks Empire (and the Crusade period) and the Ottoman Turks.
Tomorrow is another day and its hoing to be mountainous. Scanning outside my daily route on the road I was confused at first by a large blue area ahead....the Mediterranean!
