Conclusion

So how much did this journey set us back? Not too bad, would have been much better if we cooked our own food, but we had no stove so that was not an option.

The gas isn’t too bad considering the gas mileage that the car gets (low). The trip was about 2,130 miles (about 3,400 kilometers) and the Chrysler held up very well for the distance we drove it. In the beginning, when the brakes were smoking at the bottom of the hill, I had my doubts, but all turned out well in the end.

Not too bad money-wise either. Only about $150 each (with 1 US Dollar = 1,500 Lira, this comes to about 225,000 Lira), can’t beat that for a week long trip. I guess the weather could have been a little nicer, but everything worked out in the end, as it always does. And, now that I have a tent, I can take trips like this whenever the time and money are there, which is what I always look forward to doing.
