My father and I - more like my father, his bike and mine.
We went on a bike tour last weekend. 170 km and 1500 meters of altitude. Untrained already a challenge. He’s over 70 and was faster than me. Ok, he drives E - I don’t. We call non electric “bio bikers”. Well, uphill he was faster and downhill I was - that’s how it balances out. On the way we met his brother who accompanied us for a while. My father and I have had almost no contact for the past few decades. Camping, canoeing and cycling are the things that bring us together again and again. Well, rare quality time …

Beyaz yolculuğum pamuk gibi… Karlar sardı her yanımı ama ben yılmadım… Bazen battım yine de çıktık delikanlıyla… Detaylar pek yakında..;)
Altındere vadisinden, Babadağ eteklerine…

Our footprints always follow us on days when it’s been snowing. They always show us where we’ve been, but never where we’re going. - Winnie the Pooh

Trust me, it’s paradise. This is where the hungry come to feed. For mine is a generation that circles the globe and searches for something we haven’t tried before. So never refuse an invitation, never resist the unfamiliar, never fail to be polite and never outstay the welcome. Just keep your mind open and suck in the experience. And if it hurts, you know what? It’s probably worth it. - Richard, ‘The Beach’ (Alex Garland)

I can’t think of anything that excites a greater sense of childlike wonder than to be in a country where you are ignorant of almost everything. Suddenly you are five years old again. You can’t read anything, you have only the most rudimentary sense of how things work, you can’t reliably cross a street without endangering your life. Your whole existence becomes a series of interesting guesses.

It is a big and beautiful world. Most of us live and die in the same corner where we were born and never get to see any of it. I don’t want to be most of us. - Oberyn Martell, Game of Thrones

To awaken quite alone in a strange town is one of the pleasantest sensations in the world. - Freya Stark

Traveling, you realize that differences are lost: each city takes to resembling all cities, places exchange their form, order, distances, a shapeless dust cloud invades the continents. - Italo Calvino

It’s a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don’t keep your feet, there’s no knowing where you might be swept off to. - J.R.R Tolkien
