The story of a Rabbit with Magical Power
After being back home with my family, I decided not to cycle further to Egypt and into East Africa. It might be rather risky since Turkey is fighting a war with Syria.
The first morning after a successful stealth camp in Turkey we are awakened by hundreds of bells in many tones, with deep sounds, far away yet coming closer. Seems we are discovered by a shepherd, more so by his dog.
I have to get used to it. Being the highlight of a family, the one-woman show being once again on the road. And I will get used to it. Not all families are as enthusiastic as in beautifully named Tilki Tepe.
The most frequently asked question is “Are not you afraid?” and “You’re just a woman alone.” I am used to hear those questions and I do not flash a strange look towards them who’d ask me. Except this one: “But you’re really all alone and no one is there to help you!” in silence I wonder how they take place in this world? And mind you, these people are westerners…
