Today started with an epic huge storm in Kas, it blew out the power (bye-bye air conditioning!) and basically filled the streets and created pools of water everywhere in the hotel.
I was one of the last to the van meaning I had the pleasure of sitting in the back. As soon as I sat down I knew it wasn't going to be good because the road was by the ocean, twisting and turning. I downed a Gravol and hoped I could make it until the drugs could start working. I wasn't that lucky... I was never so glad to stop at a rest stop ever!
It was a long four hour journey and the Gravol was making me drowsy and grumpy. Only to arrive at the crumbiest hotel by far and with no wi-fi in the rooms (seriously?!)
I was very much looking forward to Pamukkale but it had not started at all well. Luckily, it got better. We took the bus to the top of Pamukkale (cotton castle) or Hierapolis (holy city). Mete told us hat the water here has healing powers and that is why there is a huge Necropolis just outside the city gate. We pointed out that the water maybe not so healing considering the size of the cemetery.
We wandered through the Necropolis and into the Roman city of Hierapolis. I got some great photos.
I decided to skip the other Roman ruins including the theatre and head down to the healing waters. You are not allowed to wear shoes when walking down so you feet get a "gentle" massage as you make you way down. There are tons of tourists but it was a beautiful walk.
On to the next adventure (that I'm really hoping is not a four hour drive away!)
