DAY SEVEN

Izmir

We arrived, shocked
into the pre dawn light at Izmir bus station.

After a couple of cups of tea
we found the bus to Selchuk near the ancient city of Ephesus (Efes)

We spent an hour on another bus
at Selchuk we had the standard harassment

However, we already had an arrangement.
They came and picked us up.


Atilla's Getaway
as recommended to us

It was nice
Too many damn Australians though.
It had a good view out over the valley.

It is run by an Australian Turkish family
Atilla is there with his Thai wife.

Sawadee Krap!
Sabai dee mai?
Baan ti ni?

She was from Pattiya.

I see, awfully broad shoulders on that girl.

Who knows?

She always wanted to get out of Thailand
now she cannot wait to get back.

"It is not the same."

We slept for hours
got up, swam, relaxed and even had a yellow curry for dinner.
It was not the same.

We got an early night for a big one the next day.
