Stage 13 etap 4 - May 16 2026

Door Mark · Reis: Cycle Exped to Japan via Finland · 42 km

Sunny and beautiful landscapes yesterday. Very hilly all day (1345m over 101 km) except the last 15 km in the dark! Mapy lead me astray a few times which cost time, extra km and height! Got too much attention in a hill village and had to escape uphill while being pursued by the local youths!
Today should be a shorter day from Karasu to Akcakoca. A sunny blue sky.
