Plains flat and wide as the eye can see give way to mountain skirted plains, dusted in snow. As we bus further south east, the plains are swallowed by the mountains, and we climb, winding left and right over and around the huge craggy snow capped peaks. Unlike the west of Turkey, the feel of this part of Turkey is indisputably Asian. It really feels like we are heading towards the frontier, and people are friendly and curious.
