From Kastanies we walked 8 kilometres to Edirne, followed part of the
way by a pack of small children yelling for money!
In 1958 my dad, Garry Spencer, and his friend Maurice spent the summer hitch-hiking around Europe - this is his diary!

Friday 19th September
We managed to get lifts right up to the Turkish frontier at Kastanies,
changing out money into Turkish enroute.
We obtained a very favourable rate: 34 to the £1, compared with the
official 18 to the £1!!
After quite a good dinner we met the principle
of the local technical school, who invited us to stay the night at his
school. This we did, and slept in the teacher’s
dormitory
