Rote A Third Day

                                                                Trabzon


We deplane at late night. The whole team is sleepy and their feet are swollen. Landscapes of Istanbul with seven hills are still in our mind.
Most likely we will wander in a street of Istanbul in our dreams. We are going to hotel in the dark and getting into our rooms fast. All we want is
to be prepared for Trabzon, which we will go tomorrow.

When we wake up and look from the windows, a beautiful landscape welcomes us and reminds that we are by the Blacksea. Thin sand combines with sea and
beyond that, endless blue! Everybody is excited to see Sumela Monastery.

We are climbing up Blacksea Mountains. After one and a half hour later, we are in 1150 meter elevation. we will walk approximately 300 meter more.

Although they are tired because of yesterday's trip, you should see the ComeSeeTurkey team's speed. We are almost running in the way towards Monastry.
Part of the way is a path which is full of stones and the other part is stairs. There it is! The Monastery is right in front of us. It stands between
huge rocks by facing the sun and leaning the mountains. Unbelieveable!

How can a structure look strong, protective, impassable like a castle besides humble?
