After the mountains the steppes.

Spent a day going from Cankiri to Hatusha, the ancient capital of the Hittites. The landscape is now a stunning combination of lunar like valleys and rolling plains of wheat stubble bounded by hills all coloured in more shades of kahki and brown than one might imagine possible with the very occasional belt of green marking the course of a stream. Villages roll by infrequently, with many of the buildings still made of mud bricks.
