We checked out of Greece and then headed for Kusadasi in Turkey, where we were meeting Jill and John. I have to mention that the paperwork for getting into Turkey is horrendous involving Harbourmaster (twice), health, visa office, Customs, and Passport Police. About 2.5 hours of visits! That said, it was well worth it. So far Turkey has proved to be a friendly, and lovely country. Almost without exception everybody is eager to help you with any problem you may have. The answer to any question is always “I’ll try” even if it is difficult.
The Ancient sites are fantastic. The most famous we have seen has been Ephesus, but with Jill and John, we also went to
Priene, Miletus, Didyma and Pamukkale. Pamukkale is famous for its crystal pools, but ancient Hieropolis is on the same site and incredible. I will admit to feeling a little curious as to wh
y Sam kept asking me to pose for photos right next to tombs! My personal favourite though is Priene. 
There is so much on the site, and the pieces of column lying around look like a child’s experiment with lego, but then you remember the massive scale and it’s awe-inspiring. The theatre there is also very well preserved.
