Gozde's second...
Yesterday the landlord asked from us to stop the project and take ship to some other village, which is also in his village’s borderlines. He gave me his business card, which says “The Owner of the Ararat Mountain”. He has afraid of that the place we want to put the ship will become a popular climbing route and the place will turn out more popular about the mountain tourism more than his lands. While we are talking and trying to understand each other, he picked up the phone and started to talk with some one and then suddenly he gave the phone to me. He was one of the parliamentarians in Turkey but we easily understood each other quickly and turn off the phone by wishing well. After that we continue to argue with the landlord which has take about an hour and our documentary team has shoot it all. The conversation between us and the landlord lead nowhere and so he decided to leave, but he also said, “I’ll be back”
After this conversation I took my cup of tea and started to write my weblog dairy. When I finished it I set off to Dogubeyazit to reach the Internet. The day come and go by waiting the electricity to come to this little internet cafe and looking for the things that we need for the camp. We will leave early in the morning with the horses. There will be 4 big and 2 small tents besides the sleeping tents. We are trying to organize a camp for 50 people so the shopping takes so much time. The ship crew is on the mountain and trying to prepare the area for the ship while we are at the Dogubeyazit.
We have two new guests on dinner: Michael from Germany, in his early 20’s yet a professional shipbuilder. Manuel is our professional photographer from Istanbul and he is here with us to witness and to document all the process with his camera.
After the dinner, all team had a meeting with journalists. We talked how to organize the work. At a very important point of the meeting Oguzhan has came with a big cake with many candles on and all team started to sing the birthday song for me! It was a huge surprise for me because I completely forgotten it. I turned red because of surprise and tried to understand how did they can well organized it within all the work we have! I thank them all and we ate my great birthday cake together with fun. When we said goodbye everyone was thinking the same thing; tomorrow will be hard.
Today’s programme is based on working about the camp. Today tents will start to set up. The camp will be ready by tomorrow before we set off. Big day is tomorrow. He has to get on road early and prepare the horses and load all the equipments. And I have to find a sleeping bag for myself.
