Hello people!!! Today I'm really tired, so it's gonna be a really quick post with lots of random pictures. First, we went to Aphrodisias, a little ancient city famous for being one of the best preserved and also for its marble. There was a museum there which we went to briefly which had tons of marble statues of nude men in it, and they're labelled 'man without toga with bare chest'...so much imagination (note the sarcasm).
And then on the coach we learnt French pick-up lines from our Latin teacher...awkward much... And funny at the same time! We also 'stargazed' with the flies which were dotted around on our windows...pretending that they were star constellations and trying to name them...we are weird.
Next we went to Hierapolis which is the 'sacred city', and frankly, it wasn't as exciting. We did get to see the entrance to the underworld, or the 'Plutonium', which was kinda cool I guess. Well, it was all fun, just some parts were more interesting than others. There are also thermal baths there which look totally amazing, that sounds weird, but it really was amazing. We were allowed to put our feet inside one of the shallow baths and we all linked hands because it's slippery. It was so fun, I loved it so much!!!
At the new hotel we arrived in today, which is a really nice 4-star, we had the most awesome dinner (buffet, like all the other dinners and lunches we've had so far, except for lunch today). We were all so stuffed after the mountain of food we all got, then the massive pudding volcano we ate/wasted-because-it-was-too-sickly. To wash that down, we ate 10 oranges in total. Between the 6 of us. According to my friends who got the oranges, everyone else was giving them REALLY weird looks... XD
This picture is of the clocks in the hotel reception this morning before we were leaving...just think, if that's the time we were leaving (Kusadasi clock), imagine when we had to wake up... Well, I'll tell you, we had to wake up at 6am!!!! Way too early!!!
