I am so excited. Today is the day I get to sleep in a cave. We got up at 4:00 in the morning to fly from Izmir to Kayseri. It is one of the airports in Cappadocia. The rent-a-car man was late. We waited for 20 minutes at the airport and finally a man came Read More …
Pamukkale is famous for its white terrace pools. In my opinion, Pamukkale was expensive and a rip-off. First off, it was 20 Turkish Lira per person to get in (That is $12 in US money). Second, the pools weren’t full. If the water with all of the calcium doesn’t flow, the terraces turn black instead Read More …
Today we went to this spa called Sanctuary that was sooooooo relaxing. I got a tasty chocolate massage. I had chocolate all over my body and I could actually lick my body and eat the chocolate. Before that, we had a Turkish bath in this room with a big marble table in the middle. The Read More …

Today, since there was no town, we went to the beach. Dalyan’s town is up the river, but, we couldn’t get a big ship up there. The beach was picture perfect. It had fine sand and clear, shallow water. There was a little bar that sold fresh pomegranates, drinks and ice cream. We got to Read More …
The Star Clipper is a wonderful sailing ship. It has 2 pools, a cool net at the bow of the boat that is like a big hammock, and a crow’s nest you can climb up to. It also has 4 very tall masts, sun decks, square and triangle sails, wifi, and, best of all, water Read More …
Our day started out in a good way. We got off the tender and immediately saw Petro. Petro the pelican was an adorable, little critter, but Bob was cuter. Bob was what we names this cute, little octopus. Hopefully, Bob was old because he didn’t live after today. Two people from England found him and Read More …
We had a good flight to Athens from Rome. We had a pretty good cab ride to the hotel, but, the hotel took the gold medal. It is called the Athens Intercontinental Athenaeum hotel. It was awesome. It had a nice pool, a spa, a “shopping arcade,” 7 floors, yummy breakfast, and good rooms. Also, Read More …

First, we learned all about the history of being a gladiator. I learned that, if you were a slave and you won Read More …
