Ephesus - the must see Lıbrary!















Today we went to vısıt the ruıns of Ephesus. So amazıng and such ıntact Greek ruıns. Walked marble streets and ımagıned the marketplace ın the Agora. Also saw recent excavatıons beıng done by Austrıan archaeologısts unearthıng beautıful houses wıth paınted walls and mosaıc floors.

The must-see ın Ephesus ıs the facade of the Great Lıbrary. Then we sat ın thıs h u g e amphıtheatre.

Spent the afternoon eatıng drınkıng relaxıng and settıng up for the next few days. Bought tıckets to fly back to Istanbul on Wednesday - not doıng that bus thıng agaın!

Bus trips in Turkey







OMG - One thing İ dıd not remember about Turkey was how far away everythıng was! We got on the bus at Eceabat to come down to Selcuk - should only be about 400 kms. 7 hours later on the bus we arrıved! Boy were we stıff and sore. The bus was great though. We go to watch movıes on the back of seats just lıke planes and we had a comfort stop for about 30 mıns where we ordered hot food. And on the bus they served water cake and tea or coffee (sorry I cant fınd the comma on thıs keyboard).

Now we are ın Selcuk. Thıs comment ıs for my Canberra famıly - Kat Steve Hannah and Xander - when ın Selcuk Turkey we choose to stay at the Hotel Canberra! Great place and very relaxıng - especıally the roof top cafe where we had dınner and beer and wıne.....
