Safranbolu, south of Amasra, is on the ancient Silk Road and has many grand Ottoman houses some in a state of disrepair. Many, like Arifbey Konak Hotel we are staying in, have been converted for people like us to stay.
A feature of these houses is the bathroom in the cupboard which I am pleased to say we have.
When we walk by people in the street, they naturally look at us and we make eye contact and say hello. We passed these men yesterday on our walk in the old town. They said hello on the way down but on our return I lagged behind Sharon to take this photo. which we both had a good laugh over.
