A seven and a half hour walk, in hot sun, mostly following the course of an ancient aqueduct.
When I reach the outer edge of my destination town, I turn my tee-shirt inside out, because I'm too embarrassed to walk through a civilised area with so many sweat stains showing. Lunch, had en-route, was one and a half packets of biscuits. Dinner was a pide (Turkish pizza), plate of heavily salted chips, glass of aryan (a salted yogurt drink), fresh watermelon juice, and a lot of water.
The elevated portion of the aqueduct
A hillside spring; a piece of infrastructure with great ROI stats. A welcome sight to hot/thirsty travelers 2500 years ago, and still a welcome sight now.
