We, five ex-Garmco employees, decided to go on a road trip through Turkiye. Wajdi AlSherawi, Khalid AlMajid, A. Razaq Ameen, Adel AlSherawi, and me, Sameer Abubaker.
We flew from the Kingdom of Bahrain to Istanbul, collected the pre-hired van at the airport, and drove through five beautiful cities: Bursa, Izmir, Bodrum, Fethiye, and finally back to Istanbul.
The trip's main destinations were drawn by our captain, Adel. He was also our driver, hotel booker, money handler, and coffee maker. I assumed the incredibly difficult task of navigation.
During our trip, we covered about 2624 kilometres in only 12 days as we returned the hired van on our arrival in Istanbul.
