... few days playing cards with our fellow guests - Paul, Sally, Sam and Eleanor - hi guys and hope he rest of your trip was less strenous than that climb to Ephesus!

The weather was truly toasty which made the fact that the sea was icy a rather unexpected surprise. We'd taken a boat trip to explore some of the small islands lying off the coast and at the first swim stop we were itching to cool off in the beautifully clear blue waters - and ...

We bought some socks at 50 kurish (45 cents) a pair. Heading out of town I needed to buy some petrol. In the circumstances, I thought the best thing to do was perform an illegal U-turn right in front of the police car that was sitting there. Of course he waved me down and admonished me in Turkish ...

... to proclaim the immaculate conception and the virgin birth central tenants of Christian orthodoxy, and a church was accordingly built on the spot to commemorate the meeting. But this event was to be a brief exception to the city's general downward spiraling trend.

... them the hot sunshine helping cultivate crops growing. But in fact Efes can be estimated as far back as 14-13 B.C., Alexander the Great conquered Efes in 334 B.C. and 37 B.C. saw Efes under the spread of Christianity; Byzantium, Turkish and Ottoman occupancy.
