The trip here was pretty easy. I got a dolmus with a bunch of Taiwanese. I met Henry and Ivy Lee and he told me Turkish Air just started flying direct from Taipai to Istanbul so they got cheap fares. That also explains why there are so many here. The dolmus was to Nevsehir then it was Metro Bus to Ankara. The Metro bus only has 3 seats across so ya get heaps more space. The trolley dolly this time was a young boy and he was on the ball with drinks and coffee and ...

I booked a one day tour for today because the place it too big to walk everywhere. The green tour does over 200km so I didn't want to be in a bus all day so I booked red tour.

There is an actual 2000 year old pool at the top they used to use for healing and just swimming. Today it cost 32lira to have a...

I've come here to see the ruins. Some claim it is the best preserved classical city in the eastern Mediterranian. in its heyday 250000people live here and it was all about Artemis.
