Get a minibus to Sumela which is a monastary built high up in the mountains. The place itself isn't as good as it clearly could be, but that might be culture fatigue on my part. It's location is fantastic, high above a valley with stunning views and some great preserved/restored frescos, but the rest of it is a bit barren. Oh well, I meet some friendly Australians and it's a pleasant walk, so I won't complain.
Back in Trabzon I want to move on quickly so I hop on a 6-hour bus to Erzurum. My destination is Kars but I get here too late to move on, so I take an overnight pit stop.
If I make it to Kars tomorrow than I will have been almost as far North, South, East and West as it is possible to go in Turkey, but I won't have been actually as far North etc. This makes me pleased.
