Konya

---

A long day on the road today. Drove through many orchards of fruit trees, peaches, oranges, cherries, pomegranates, apricys, strawberries and opium. Lunchtime around the area where Nasrudin Hoja came from, a whimsical character that uses comical paradoxical stories to teach.

Then onto overnight stay at Konya, the home of Mevlana, founder of the Whirling Dervish sect. Visited his museum and tomb.
