Turkey - Asia
We went to the Black Sea and had a pleasant 4 days edging our way along the coast. Enjoying the senery and the sea. Then we travelled inland across the high moutain passes towards the central route.

I have checked the original letter and it does say 11,000 ft, however, this is a little optimistic. I have also checked a contour map which suggests that I should have written 2,440m. An entirely different result of about 8,000 ft. Assuming the route was along Trabzon Gümüşhane Yolu / Bayburt Gümüşhane Yolu / Erzurum Bayburt Yolu. The highest peak in the area appears to be Abdal Musa Peak at 3331 m, or 10,928 ft, which is close to 11,000 ft.
