Turkey is almost over...so sad

Since Olympos it has been fun in the sun! We spent 4 days and 3 nights on a yacht cruising the Mediterranean between Olympos and Fethiye. The coast was rugged and unbelievable. We visited Butterfly valley and catherine and Sas went Paragliding over Fethıye and the Blue Lagoon. After a delay due to a stubborn child known as our resident spoiled american girl...long story...we sailed to a beautiful spot outside Fethiye and I bombed around on a SeaDoo. The yachting included amazing food, some super cool people and copıous sun...it has been unseasonably warm here, ie 35 degrees or so every day for the last week.

After the boat we travelled to Pammukale and visited the salt pools and ancient ruins of Hierapolis. Our hotel was awesome and we swam in the pool and enjoyed apple tea i the evening. Even our hotel had naturally fed mıneral baths.

From Pammukale we moved on to Selchuk and Ephesus. Today we vısıted the ancient ruins of Ephesus, a Hellenistic city that developed by the Romans in to a booming Metropolis of 250 000 people. The ruins are unreal and still being uncovered! Streets of marble, enourmous lıbrary and an amphitheatre for 25000!

Tommorrow will be a long day. We bus to the coast and then take a fery to Chios and than another overnight fery to Athens.

Croatia here we come!
