Ankara - Museums and Atatürk

Get up and meet Elena, helping her to move into my hotel which is much cheaper than hers. We go to the Museum of Anatolian Civilisation which has a lot of artifacts from the region, and to Atatürk's Mausoleum. It's a public holiday - I think the anniversary of the fouding of the Republic - and the place is heaving, but it's still a really interesting afternoon. The Turks really love the guy.

She goes back to the hotel to work and for the next few hours I wander around Ankara for a bit, get my second kebab of the day, find a bar and head back myself.
