... Site, and a visit to one would not be complete without a look at the other.

Although the cloudy white mountainside continues to act as a magnet for thousands and thousands of tourists on day excursions, the only way to really appreciate the region is to spend an afternoon basting in the local mineral-rich waters. This is a spa town, after all. For now, tourists can swim in the Sacred Pool within the courtyard of the former Pamukkale Thermal ...

... a majority of the fighters and they lost a fraction of men compared to the British and the French, their lolsses as a percentage of army size and population were huge. It is also believed that a mistaken landing on the first night at a cove a mere kilometer off course ultimately cost them their position and allowed Attaturk to sieve the peninsula's high point. Because of that mistake, thousands of young boys were thrust into a slaughter. Nevertheless, they fought ...

DAY 28 - KAVALA TO CANAKKALE
It has been a very long time since I have updated this log. It is now day 42 of our Contiki trip and I am writing day 28... Hopefully I don't miss out any of the good bits! I'll try my best:)

The "fairy chimneys" and rock caves that make Cappadocia famous are amazing and we enjoyed our couple of days of sight seeing and being tourists at last. Sunday morning saw us on the road again to go west and then north to Canakkale. Turkey is such a huge country we seem to have driven through every imaginable type of countryside, Mongolian style steppe, fertile ...

... is there. It seems that any time day or night there are millions of people from all over the world are sauntering along; 60% walking one direction and 60% walking in the other direction. After a meal in one of the many of the side street eateries, mostly G. "shopped," while I stood by. Earlier I had nabbed a couple of books at the really fine Pandora Bookshop. (Interestingly, Lonely Planet doesn't give Pandora a mention; yet I have found there the ...

... lunch at a local restaurant. I felt rather guilty by this stage as it seemed the whole trip was being organised around our family needs. Anyway, that's how it was. Pergamum was a powerful kingdom back in the 3rd century BC. It was here that 'parchment' was developed, a corruption of the name of the city. This was developed out of necessity when the Egyptians refused to trade any more papyrus. From parchment came the first known books. These were merely bundles of ...
