Turkey day 6 - Pamukkale trip

It was an early start today, we went on a coach trip to Pamukkale, about 3 hours away.

We stopped for breakfast on the way - cheese, olives, eggs, bread, honey.

The next stop was a stone factory where they gave us a display of stone carving then tried to sell us their goods.


At Pamukkale there hot springs and terraces of carbonate minerals called Travertines - they were very spectacular if a little overrun by tourists.


On the plateau above is the Roman town of Hierapolis, we spent a lot of time walking round the ruins - houses, baths, theatre etc.


Then we were taken to a local restaurant for a buffet lunch, which was actually really good.

On the way back we stopped at a leather factory for a fashion show and sale, this was a bit tedious. We got back quite late, didn't have any dinner.
