Finally, I’m in Van now, or to be more exact, Lake Van. Lake Van has been on my list since setting up my foot on the land of Anatolia years ago and I swore to myself I will definitely make myself here in one day.
And it’s today – 14th May 2011.
Van Gölü by far is the most conspicuous feature on the map of eastern Turkey. In fact, it has been my wish to travel in a ferry across the lake from Van to Tatvan (or vice versa) but I find no reason to do it and even I insisted to do so, it’s not journey-wise as I can’t connect it to my journeying in eastern Turkey and will eventually lead to backtracking.

So, I just contented myself by sneaking in to the striking Van Castle perched majestically on a hill overlooking the eponymous lake. This vast expanse of water pool surrounded by snowcapped mountains is virtually untouched and scenic. It’s definitely an ideal place for picnicking but…I was alone!...and it was raining! Damn it!
