RIZE – TURKEY 350 km (total 3980 km)

First mechanical problem of the rally (broken gas cable does not count, as it was well before the official start). This morning poor R4 was sputtering and coughing, so had to stop at the Renault dealership, just outside Persembe, Koi Otomomotiv. They were simply the kindest people ever. Problem was at the end due to low-grade fuel, but they checked it, retuned it, test drove it, all for free. They even invited us for lunch and got us two hats, two stickers and two car fresheners as a sponsorship deal ;-)
Thank you guys!

Moved on to a monastery outside Rize for a cultural stop and a bit of wet-and-mud driving.

Tomorrow, to please the Resident Enologist/Driver, we will try to make it to South East of Georgia, smack in the wine-making region.
