Pamukkale and Antalya- The End of our Turkey Tour

Hello Everyone,

Most of you are probably sleeping while we write this. It is 10:00 AM in Turkey which is 12:00 AM in the U.S. We are on a bus from Pamukkale back to Istanbul. From there, we will be flying to Egypt where we will be for 14 days before heading to India on October 3rd. We have spent the last 8 days in Antalya and Pamukkale. Antalya is a resort area with beautiful beaches and luxurious accommodations. Pamukkale is more of a village built around the massive natural springs that draw many people each year. Thank you Seyed for introducing us to this place.

First, Pamukkale and the ancient ruins of Heirapolis

























Ancient pool- ruins under your feet while you swim




Visitors have been reaping the benefits of these springs for 2000 years. They probably didn't have to pay 20 Turkish Lira each to get in! Anywho, us enjoying the springs. Don't worry about the murkiness of the water. Supposedly it provides many health benefits








The sun starting to set







Heirapolis



















Now, a little game of where's Mila. Can you find her? You may need to click on each picture individually
















Red Hot Pamukkale- 7 KM north of Pamukkale. These thermal waters were boiling hot. You could cook mac and cheese in there. We took a quick dip and lost a layer of skin before getting kicked out (apparently you had to pay!)













Antalya- perfect site of beach and mountains













Poor little guy got separated from mom while crossing the street




Sand stars of Hollywood. They've come a long way since using buckets to build sand castles






















Our favorite- Aliens vs. Predator




Sorry if your eyes hurt from seeing the same three outfits (uhum Reno) it's all we got :)

Until next time,
Mila and Scott
