Roads

Kackar Mountains of Turkey

 
 

Weak headlights sweep through an almost impenetrable darkness, glimpses of a snowmelt river in spate merge into rock face, as we speed through a never-ending valley.

It’s impossible to tell how far down the river is, as the longest and scariest unprotected switchback slides me sideways to into a half shut door.

How is it the driver fails to see the fear in my eyes, or the colour drain from my face as the sickness rises within my gut?

God how I wish I was driving!
