We left GÜRÜN early in the morning, we stopped on the roadside along the way to boil eggs and made some coffee for breakfast. The children gathered to watch us and brought us some fresh apricots and cucumbers.

To return back to their kindness, we gave them some chewing gum and toffees as well as some toys prepared to distribute to children we meet on the way. All children seemed very happy and excited.

After coffee, we headed to MALATYA. There were all apricot growing areas on both roadsides in the villages that we passed. On flat roofs of houses, we saw fresh apricots being sun-dried everywhere. I understand that Turkish houses are like boxes with flat rooftops in this area, surface plastered with grass or soil mixed with cow dung may be to take advantage of the space for sun drying of fruits or materials.

From MALAYA via KALE , we stopped to camp overnight in ELAZIG, where there is a new beautiful mosque.
