Waba continued yesterday to the east (SE). On the way it seems Waba stopped on Gönen Çayı/Stream (Aesepus River) near Haydaroba and next visited the Koca Stream (night area). Newest localisation is still not far from the night-resting place in/near one stream (other place but the same name: Koca Stream) to the west from the village Ilıca and/or to the east from the Manyas Baraj Gölü/Manyas Dam Lake.

btw. in Ilıca is one thermal park
