The Old Town is the largest preserved medieval settlement in Europe and has been inhabited without interruption down to the present time and is completely enclosed in a thick, 6km long wall. No doubt bits of the wall have been built/repaired at different times, by whoever was "holding fort ...

... linking courtyards shaded by huge cypress trees and underpinned by lovingly pruned and cared for old lemon trees. A mixture of wonderful scents wafted around and we looked more closely at the gardens. We discovered the oversize shrubs, interspersed with the lemons, were basil and rosemary. Large detailed mosaics covering the floors and walls had been washed clean by the heavy rain. It was one of the most beautiful and peaceful courtyards I have ever been in.

I was really overdue my holidays, finally getting to take it in October and I just signed up to two weeks of not doing much in Turkey with a couple of friends in a group. For me though not doing much isn't my cup of tea so I took every chance to re-live my old Turkey memories, from food, sights, sea, dancing and ahem, yes the men, again :)

Please come back soon as I update all the stories from the two weeks. Thanks.

... to us and its back to the hotel for a beer in the little shady garden to recover, then a shower and off to a back street in the least touristy part of town for another meal at a little local taverna recommended by the hotel owner. 9 Oct - We must have been tired - went to bed reasonably early last night, but this morning, woke up thinking "Man those people in the next room are early risers" and found it was quarter to 9! By the time we'd had coffee and some rolls for breakfast, we ...

... er her. På søndager har de sen vakt fordi det ankommer nye nisser. Idag har vi endelig klart å komme oss ut i tide før de en gang rakk å mase på oss. Så plutselig kommer de ikke før senere på ettermiddagen. De tar sin daglige 5 minutter over leiligheten. Hun ene vasker kopper, mens hun andre bytter håndklær, skifter søppelposer og børster gølvet (gulvet). Når de har forlatt åstedet går jeg inn og spiller Fifa07 på PSP ...

... me this.) I had no idea what I was going to get when he took my order--his English was spotty. It was extremely pleasant sitting in the sun. The weather today was a perfect spring day--high was about 70 F. I think we're going to have spring weather from here on. It kind of made up for the fact that we turned our clocks forward and lost an hour of sleep last night. We pick up that hour tomorrow night, but that doesn't make losing an hour of ...
