Greetings!
2 nädalat kestnud puhkus Istanbulis on lõppenud, olen olnud taas jalutamises juba 3 päeva ning jõudnud 300 500 elanikuga linna nimega Izmit.
On möödunud pool aastat päevast, mil alustasin jalutamist Tallinna piiri äärest Laagri bussipeatusest.
Selle aja jooksul olen ainult jalgsi läbinud 3500 km.
Nüüd olen teel Musta mere ja 620 km kaugusel asuva Samsun'i linna suunas. Järgnevad 60 päeva on plaanis jalutada 1200 km (keskmiselt 20 km päevas).
Siiani on kõik türklased Põhja-Türgi ja Musta mere äärse regiooni imelist loodust, metsasid, mägesid ja inimesi ülimalt kiitnud.
2 week vacation in Istanbul has ended and I have been walking again for 3 days and arrived to Izmit - population 300 500.
It has been 6 months when I started walking from Tallinn the capital of Estonia. In that time I have walked and only walked for 3500 km.
I am on the way to the Black Sea and to a city called Samsun which is 620 km away from Izmit.
For the next 60 days I plan to walk 1200 km (average 20 km per day)
All the Turkish people this far have said only good things about the Black Sea region, about the people there, the nature and the mountains.
Istanbulis kinkis Emre Durmuş mulle uue telgi ja magamisaluse.
Lisaks on minuga toredad termo-riided ja magamiskott kuni miinus 13 kraadi jaoks.
Seega olen Põhja-Türgi mägiseks ja lumiseks looduseks igati valmis.
Emre Durmuş from Istanbul made a gift for me - a new tent.
With me there are also nice thermo clothes and a sleeping bag for minus 11 degrees.
So I'm all ready for the North-Turkeys mountains and snow.
Olen kohtunud Türgis nii paljude heade inimestega, kes on majutanud mind oma kodudes, andnud ja ostnud mulle süüa.Kinkinud uued püksid, polo, uued jalanõud, mitu paari sokke, hulga väikeseid heaendelisi kingitusi, uue telgi, magamisaluse jne...Edirnes majutas mind 4 ööd tankikomandör Akın Aktürk. Akın, tema sõbrad ja naabrid Hasret Ayvaz ja Fırat Ozeker on väga lahked ja õnnelikud inimesed. Kui mul oli aeg Edirnest lahkuda, ütles Akın:"Kui sul peaks Türgis probleeme tekkima, palun anna mulle kohe teada!" Vastasin, et siis ta saab mulle tanki saata, mille peale Akın tegi nalja öeldes:"4 tanki."
Eriline tänu Lüleburgaz'es elavate Ilker Durmus'ele ja Jasmin Yasemin'ile, kes olid minu vastu eriti head ja lahked ning kes oma sõprade Onur Önal'i ja Zafer Bıyıklı abiga organiseerid mulle öömajad mitmesse järgnevasse linna.
Armusin Ilkeri vanematesse ja Tema ema valmistatud sooja sööki!
In Turkey I have met so many good people who have been very kind towards me and hosted me in their homes, gave and buy me food. Gave me new trousers, sweater, new shoes, many pairs of socks, many little good-fortune gifts, new tent and so on...In Edirne I was hosted for 4 nights by a tank commander Akın Aktürk. Akın, his friends and neighbors Hasret Ayvaz and Fırat Ozeker are very kind and happy people. When there was the time for me to leave Edirne Akın said:"If you should have any problems in Turkey please let me know immediately!" I said that you can then send me a tank to which Akın replied:"4 tanks."
Special gratitude to Ilker Durmus and Jasmin Yasemin from Lüleburgaz who were "ONLY LOVE" towards me and who with the help of their friends Onur Önal'i and Zafer Bıyıklı organized a places to stay for me in the next cities.
I fell in love with Ilkers parents and with his mothers cooking!
Istanbulis ööbisin ma neljas erinevas kodus, majutajateks advokaat Hakan Yalçınkaya, kooliphühholoog Yucel Kilic, Navid Allahyar ja Emre Durmuş.
Paar ööd olin Hagia Sophia lähedal hostelis ning ühe öö veetsin puude ja põõsaste vahel lageda taeva all.
Lisaks majutajatele ja nende mitmetele sõpradele kohtusin kohalike Kayane Gavrilof'i ja Ceyda Charapita'ga.
Ceyda näitas mulle oma tehnikaülikoolis asuvat laborit, kus kasvavad õli söövad seened, millega oleks võimalik puhastada planeedi õlireostusi.Külastasin linna turismiaktratsioone, külastasin Vefa Poyraz Anatolianı nimelist keskkooli, kus koos väikese ansambliga mängisin muusikatundides noortele trompetit.
Samuti viibisin Istanbuli Tehnikaülikoolis.
Kohtusin ja olin koos ka mitmete välismaalastega - Iraani helilooja Milad Movahedi http://miladmovahedi.com/
Kreekanna Konstantina Ang ja Tema Lõuna-Aafrikast päris sõbranna.
Californiast pärit Annie Gorden ja Shawndeez Davari.Inglannad Christabel Rachael Buchanan ja Phillippa Banister. Jaapanist pärit Yuki Nakamura (kes teadis Baruto't, kuna Jaapanis teavad kõik Barutot ja kes oli oma Euroopa reisi jaoks valmistanud ise Euroopa kaardi, mis oli väga imetlusväärne).
Brasiiliast pärit Marcos Vinicios, USA'st Grant Gelb, Gaza'st pärit Ahmed Salim.
Eriline au oli kuulata 2,5 tundi Istanbuli Sümfooniaorkestri proovi. Istusin orkestriliikmete trompetimängija Şenova Ülker'i ja tromboonimängija Asli Erşen'i vahel - dirigeeris Howards Griffiths.
Sain Istanbulis korralikult puhata, niisama linnas jalutada, inimesi vaadelda, imestada, imetleda, kogeda segadust ja selgust - sõita busside, metroo ja praamidega. Pärast kahte nädalat oli suurlinn muutunud juba üsnagi koduseks, kesklinn tundus kui omamoodi väikelinn.
Ja meri, see imeline meri!!!
In Istanbul I stayed and slept in 4 different homes hosted by lawyer Hakan Yalçınkaya, school psychologist Yucel Kilic, Navid Allahyar and Emre Durmuş.
Few nights I was in a hostel near the Hagia Sophia and for 1 night I slept under the starry sky between some trees and bushes.
I met with locals Kayane Gavrilof and Ceyda Charapita.
Ceyda showed to me her lab in technical university where she grows mushrooms that can eat oil - with this mushrooms it would be possible to clean oil spills!I visited many tourist attractions and Vefa Poyraz Anatolian High School, where I played the trumpet in music lessons together with one small ensemble.
I also spent time in ITÜ - İstanbul Teknik Üniversitesi
I met and were together with many foreigners - Milad Movahedi the composer from Iran http://miladmovahedi.com/
My Greek friend Konstantina Ang and her friend from South-Africa Cape Town.
Annie Gorden and Shawndeez Davari from California.Christabel Rachael Buchanan and Phillippa Banister from UK. Yuki Nakamura from Japan (Yuki know Estonian sumo wrestles Baruto because everybody knows Baruto in Japan. Yuki had made a map of Europe by himself which was amazingly detailed!).
From Brazil Sao Paolo Marcos Vinicios, from USA Grant Gelb, from Gaza Ahmed Salim.
Special honour and privilege was to listen for 2,5 hour the rehearsal of the Istanbul State Symphony Orchestra. I was sitting between the trumpet player Şenova Ülker and trombone player Asli Erşen - conducted by Howards Griffiths.I had a good rest in Istanbul, walked in a city, observed people.
Experiences moments of mess and clarity. I rode with buses, metro, and ferries. After 2 week the big city had become somewhat homey and the center felt like a small town.
And the sea the wonderful sea!!!
