EP38 - TRABZON - A caminho da próxima fronteira de motorhome

In this episode, we arrive in Trabzon, our last stop in Turkey before the Georgian border. We are pioneers, the first Brazilians to travel the Arabian Peninsula by motorhome, and now we are on our way to China traveling the Silk Road. We want to inspire others to explore this path as well. And, to do that, we want to share this experience with you! In this episode we will show: Our first attempt - unsuccessful - to visit the Sumela Monastery in Trabzon Why we decided not to visit that day: was there too much snow along the way? Our experience at IFTAR: the meal to break the fast during Ramadan. What is Ramadan? We woke up to a student demonstration in Trabzon. What are the young people demanding? Our second attempt - successful - to visit the Sumela Monastery. The snowy paths leading to Sumela What it's like to get there What it was like to hike the final trail to the Monastery with so much snow on the way: Sumela: an ancient engineering feat embedded in a cliff The history of Sumela The frescoes of Sumela The interior of the Monastery A family wanted to visit Popopoa on the way out of the Monastery: did we let them? We ran out of water: but there was a fountain with a clear indication on the app and we solved the problem On the way to the border: Georgia, here we come. YES!!! We are traveling the Silk Road on our way to China! About Us: We are Ana and Zé, a couple over 57 exploring the world in Popopôa, our vintage 1988 motorhome.
