We visited the ancient city of Ephesus today which was established in 300BC. Although mainly ruins the layout of the city was still visible and some structures were quite well preserved and some quite well restored. The most impressive building here was the Library of Celsus which doubled as a library and a monumental tomb. The great theatre was also huge with a seating capacity of 24 000 people.
For lunch we stopped in a small village where we sampled some traditional (and very yummy) Gozleme (aTurkish crepe/pancake with savoury filling). We also were able to sample some local wine of which we bought a bottle for later. :-)
On our way to our hotel we stopped off at a leather factory...mmmm... uh oh.
We were treated to a fashion parade to start with showing us an example of the selection and then we were let loose in the shop. Lets just say that Brii didn’t realise there was a second floor until it was time to pay!
.... So Brii got a leather jacket for her anniversary present :-)... and Jack ... well he didn’t find anything he liked :-(!
