... out the walk was a mere training exercise for what was to come the following day as we staggered seven kilometres up a mountain to see the Acropolis sounding even worse than the battered Renault 12s that asthmatically spluttered past us. Even the cab drivers at the top applauded us when we arrived and told us how impressive a climb that was. <br><br>Note to Tania, next year on my birthday can we just go to the beach please????

... through the living thorn bushes and find places and a way to climb over the thorn bush fences. I'll say it does leave its marks. And, remnants. After getting to the top of a hill range at some distance from the Pergamon Acropolis it was time to head down to the highway which effectively ran parallel to my hill crest walk. At the bottom, and before the close highway, there was the same stream to be crossed. Only this time, at a road ...

... you are not likely to see anywhere else. Near to the acropolis hill to the southeast is another, lower hill. On my first effort to climb it late one day I was intercepted by a local resident, and warned not to continue down the road because there was a military base at the bottom. Considering the lateness of the day, I acceded to his admonition. But, observing the area a little later, and through binoculars, I saw that the place I wanted to climb was around a bend in ...

... whole hill which is pretty big is covered all the way to the bottom with ruins some are from around the 1st century AD and others are Byzantine ruins as the new cities were just built on top of the old ones. As Kris and I have seen the Pergamon Altar which now resides in Berlin in the museum of the same name, we were keen to see where it came from (bergama used to be called pergamon). But we were a bit stunned as the base of the altar is all thats left and its a sorry sight ...

No less than 7 times during our trip did the bow-tied gentleman serve us our choice of hot tea, coffee, or orange soda while en route. Twice we were offered small cakes. Many times during the trip water ...

... to have more than one name. Anyway Bergama boasts a large number of Roman ruins as well as beautiful countryside. Our guesthouse, called The Odyssey, was run by a lovely young couple Ersin and Nazar. They had renovated an 190 year old 3 storey Greek terrace house. In fact they had just bought the building behind for a bargain price of 20 000 Turkish Lira. It was falling apart was going ...

... was entered into the "beauty pagent"....They select the finalists with a piece of apple.....Nikki ate hers! We headed down to Selcuk, where we spent 2 nights. We hung out at a carpet shop, that doubled as a chillout place, visit Epheasus, which is amazingly huge. We sat in the huge amphitheatre, where the romans sat over 1000 years ago. We visited the Virgin Mary's place, where she was reputed ...
