Diyarbakir - another gap in geography closed.

İ realized that İ do not like Siirt this morning when İ tried to get on the bus and they, for the first time in turkey, had a problem with my bike!
Fortunately transport is a highly competitive business in Turkey and İ eventually found a faster, earlier, cheaper and friendlier option!
4 hours later İ am in Diyabakir, the "Kurdish Capital".
Diyabakir has a couple of nice monuments to visit and is general a nice stop over town. İt's also the first place since İ started which has a mild form of tourism industry - İ went to a Kilim shop with a "guide" but did not find anything tempting!
İ had a nice cup of tea and a good conversation though.

Depending on bus availability İ will decide my next destination tomorrow but İt will be north east!
