So the next day another Canadian guy rocked up to my hostel (oh yeah, i had the whole place to myself that night! it was great!) and he came with us on the three hour trip to Pammukkale. sucked for him, coz he just got off an 11 hour bus trip to get to Selcuk, only to get back on another bus! but he wanted to.
Pammukkale was sweet. It looks like snow, but it's calcium formations and there are hot springs nearby so there are pretty little pools around. We had three hours to explore the place, and the ruins of Heriopolis/Heliopolis can't remember which city it was, are directly behind the calcium stuff. So we wandered around the ruins for a few hours. This city was HUGE! way bigger than Ephesus. Maybe not as well preserved as Ephesus or Jerash, but it was sooooooooooo big. We found the place where Phillip was martyred too, so that was cool.
Then we headed back home on the bus, although this time it was 3.5 hours... and all went out for dinner, and got some tasty mini kepaps (they spell funny here in turkey!) oh yeah and before we left pammukkale steph and josh found Magnum icecreams, which they thought was great coz they don't get them in Canada.
