Ephesus

Ephesus After a quick hotel breakfast we made the short 20 minute drive to Ephesus. Ephesus is an ancient roman city that was once an economic center. This visit was a point of excitement for me because it's a name that is quite prominent in the Bible and to be able to possibly walk where those stories were written was a surreal prospect. Upon entering the gate we found ourselves in the most...

Pamukkale & Hierapolis

Driving to Pamukkale With Kas in our rear view mirror, our next stop would be Pamukkale. I was excited for this stop since next to the hot air balloons, this was something I wanted to see. I'd seen many pictures online about the series of white Infinity pools and I wanted to witness it with my own eyes. We had a drive along the coast before heading inland towards Pamukkale. After a few hours...

Kas

The first order of business for Gimpy and I on our free day was to sleep in. Since we arrived, we hadn't had a proper day to catch up on sleep so this was the day!

It took us about an hour to arrive at the dock, where we grabbed our day bags and boarded the ship. It's a small boat with an open rear seating area, and a top and...

To add insult to injury, when we woke up this morning, we were treated to a view of hot air balloons in the air. It was a bit of salt in the wound for some of us who really wanted to take a flight but it was still a sight to see. While it was a tough pill to swallow, we soldiered on, and after some breakfast made our way out of Cappadocia and onward to Konya. Sultanhani Caravanserai Our first...

Walking around Cappadocia

Sunrise As a consolation for not having a hot air balloon ride, a few of us decided to wake up for sunset and take some photos of the sunrise in Cappadocia. We got up early and hung out at the top of our hotel terrace to wait for the sun to come up. The light started to appear and we started taking photos. It got a bit chilly and some of us retreated back to our rooms to catch a few more hours of...
