From here the next four days to Trabzon area bit of a haze, because the countryside was very monotonous, the sea to the left, mountains and towns to the right.  On 2 and half days out of the 4 it was raining, which we put up with quite well to start with, but not so well later and finally we were happy when it stopped.
