Ayvalik, Balikesir, Turkey traceybelle... 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????
Bergama, Izmir, Turkey welovemondays... Next we hired a taxi to Pergamon/Acropolis, settled as early as 3000 bc--although the ruins primarily from the Roman era. I hate to say ruins again- it implies mere rubble and it doesnt sound thrilling i know- but it was!!! Temple, armory, theatre- all fantatic! We ...
Bergama, Izmir, Turkey moberts... think I would have headed to the ridge of the peninsula, and once in the clear seen the predicament. But, I would have lost a lot of time in the late afternoon. And, well, it really wasn't doable, at all to walk back the way I had come, or to loop around the other lobe of the lake. If I hadn't been "caught" by these villagers. . . . I mean, how do you explain that timing? I went back to them, there at the head of the alley. I indicated I was going to walk to Bergama ...

Bergama, Izmir, Turkey asci... during the day the store shutters are all open and locals are busy themselves shopping for shoes, lawn mowers, electric parts, and all kinds of goods - this area proved to be a wonderful slice of real Turkey. We felt like both towns gave us a better view into what we think was real turkey than anything we had seen before and were glad to get a glimpse into more typical life. In both towns we found the people to be extremely friendly. First off, our guest ...
Bergama, Izmir, Turkey jenandjeffmilum... hours, headed back to the Pensyon and thence to Cesme. On arrival back at the boat we nipped rapidly over to the "No Problem" for a couple of beers and reflected on a really enjoyable 2 day trip, knowing that we would now be leaving Turkey in a couple of days. Turkey - Reflections When we left for Turkey in March we were really not very enthusiastic about the place. However, we were proven wrong from day 1 and will now certainly re-visit it, possibly at ...
Bergama, Izmir, Turkey chickensafloat... four smaller ones and one large bass-like fish - to get our approval, then took them back into the kitchen to cook. They fried the smaller ones and grilled the big one, splitting it between the two. The service was impeccable as they even de-boned the fish for us right at the table. The heads were still on and I had to name the poor fish with the big under bite "Eugene ...
Bergama, Turkey zigdog1... in one place gives me that "oh dear" feeling, so I have deliberately not ventured to Turkey for that day, but kept it locally in London - but being there in Mid July - does not really change the importance of the place and more importantly the "education" you get from the guide. Sure we are all taught the basics in school (ie watch the Mel Gibson movie) - but it is not until you get there and spend some 5 hours ...
