Bij de dokter
... ook geen engels, maar noemt ons een kamernummer. Dat vinden we, en inderdaad: een keel- neus- en oorarts. Dat ziet er goed uit.
Wachten. Als we aan de beurt zijn, blijkt de doker goed engels te spreken en hij vraagt naar mijn registratieformulier. Heb ik niet. Ik krijg een begeleider mee, die me terugneemt naar de balie waar ik al was en me helpt met registreren. Ook de namen vann Grada en Henk worden opgeschreven. Dat kost 15 TL.

... the bottom, where the ground was considerably flatter and the paths wider, I noticed a trail marker to "Panoramic view". I decided to see how far it went and what it had to offer before exiting the castle. About 10 steps after turning down the path I had arrived at the panoramic view, and it was fantastic!
