Turkey Tour

Our ten day tour was quite a whirlwind. Unfortunately, the distances we were trying to cover meant long days in the bus to arrive late in the hotel. Still, we saw some amazing stuff. Our tour guide, Cengiz, was excellent. He's Turkish but speaks very good English - only occassionally was his accent a problem.

Have a look at the "Turkey Unplugged" itinerary on www.onthegotours.com.

I didn't realise how many significant ruins Turkey has. I probably should have known but I hadn't really thought about it. Most impressive of these for me where Ephesus and Pamukkale. Pamukkale all has white mineral pool terraces that must be similar to the old Pink and White terraces of NZ that are now sadly no more.

Got to go...
