So arrived in the Gobble Gobble after our swift trip through the Greek Islands! Landed in the town of Selcuk. Hoped in our little bus to be driven to the Pension (thats what the Turks call Guesthoues) and our driver finds out were Australian, so then what does he proceed to do? QUOTE THE CASTLE TO ME! I already love this country, i havent been able to find an aussie that loves that movie as much as me so i was stoked.
Anyway the main attraction of this town was Ephesus, an old roman site and home to many mentions in the Bible! Checked out the place that was rumoured to be Marys old pad, as well as the old city that was situtated there.
Also 10kms from Selcuk was Sirince. A cute little town situated on a hill and you knows what this place does. IT MAKES WINE! hello! so spent a lovely day in the sun wandering around, tasting all different fruit wines. Had a lovely lunch, bought some wollen socks off some old lady and ended up settling on the Quince wine and my personal favourite, Black Mulberry mmmm
Oooo sorry i have forgot to mention, Mon's friend from way back Clemmo joined us for some Greek Islands action and after a day or so in Turkey mons old workmate Kimmay also joined us! The travelling troupe grows once more!
Very old stadium at Ephesus!
Mmm wine, sun, and Turkey! What else do you want! The country that is, on that note there is a distinct lack of Turkey in its namesake country.
Some dude who fell asleep on my shoulder, he didn't drool though.
