Pamukkale

Nope - it's not snow, (but it was still pretty cold!) Pamukkale is a calcium deposit, and location of thermal springs (which Bruce enjoyed - it was too cold for the rest of us!) It was a thermal spa since before the Roman era. While Bruce swam, Shelley, Rick and I walked up to the amphitheater (within the ancient city of Hieropolis) which was incredibly high (at the back row), and offered quite a view. Drinking apple tea seemed to be a Turkish custom, and one which we took part in pretty much daily! It was a tasty, cheap way to get warmed up!
