I felt asleep before 630 last evening, and got up at 5 this morning. What a sound sleep! And an amazing new noon arose outside my window. The prayer sound made the context really turkish. <br><br>Our lunch was at a resort with a lake. There were no other customers but us, the participants at the conference. It cost 20 lira, so maybe too expensive for local people. <br><br>Dinner was lighter, but i still couldn't finish it.

... sea. Why is it so special about Aegean sea? Because of all the Greek mythologies? <br><br>I had my dinner at a local diner, they don't speak english, but with the food in the plate, I could just point and pay to get my food. Sitting at the window looking at all the passers-by, Turks at downtown Izmir looked so westernized. Slowly eating the sour yogurt, with all the chatting in Turkish, a comfortable feeling of being a foreigner allowed me to feel at ease. <br><br>

... arrive and pack out the dorm. They are travelling as an informal group with guidance from a teacher who's very experienced. They turn out to be hospitable and er very american but not in an irritating way. They adopt me as their second token brit and a new zealand girl also hangs out with them.

... to check us in as our group was the 'first ever' guests in this new building. They brought us coffee, then after checking in, offered us wine and cheese.

I spent the rest of the day relaxing by the beach reading my book, The Snow Geese by William Fiennes. It had taken a lot of effort to get here, I was aching all over and I remembered just how quickly I'd descended that last 7km. Think I'll leave that climb until tomorrow. The following day the climb was easier than I expected. I'd ditched about 5kg of needless weight in ...
