It has been ages since I’ve had anything but Nescafe or small but potent shots of Turkish coffee.). I’m staying at Bayram’s Treehouses. Which seems to be one of the more popular options, and it’s easy to see why. The crowd is more laid-back, so it’s not the biggest party place (I think that would be Kadir’s. Olympos Night Swimming →.

                                        Pamukkale, The Cotton Castle. August 24, 2014. The main reason people go to Pamukkale is to see the famous travertines. “Pamukkale” apparently means “cotton castle” in Turkish and that’s exactly what it looks like: a big, snow-white mountain made of calcite. There are naturally occurring stepped terraces winding their way up the rock face and spring water flows over the surface, creating pools that visitors can wade in. Unesco world heritage site.

                                        From Istanbul to Selçuk, the hard way. August 21, 2014. August 21, 2014. Remember my recent post about flying by the seat of my pants. And how it sometimes bites me in the ass? Well, I totally did it again. The IDO ferry was actually much nicer than I was expecting! It was huge, the size of a small cruise ship, with fairly luxurious seating (far more leg room than a plane! I actually napped through most of the nearly two-hour ride. It was that comfortable. Got on the bus with practically no idea where I ...

After a little while we came to a small wooden bridge off to our left which led us onto the main path again. When we approached the beach, I was surprised to see there were actually quite a few people there — locals mostly, some swimming, some gathered around small bonfires on the shore. There was a electrical sound in the air, distinctive like the snap-crackle-pop of Rice Krispies cereal or Pop Rocks. I could hear it cl...

                                        August 30, 2014. August 29, 2014. THE thing to do in Cappadocia is a hot air balloon ride. Floating effortlessly over the bizarre landscape at dawn, taking in breathtaking scenery of fairy chimneys and pigeon caves… it sounds pretty awesome, right? But still, I wasn’t sure I was going to do it. It’s quite expensive, even as far as tourist excursions go, and I just wasn’t sure it would be worth it. It was totally worth it. Then we were off! We lifted up little by little and floated over the valley. I ...

                                        Flying By the Seat of My Pants. August 14, 2014. I have done absolutely no planning for Turkey. And it shows. I meant to buy a guidebook at the airport, but the only one for sale was an Istanbul-only Lonely Planet and it cost over 150 shekels. I’ll pass, thanks. My hostel had automatically emailed me directions, so I figured I’d be set to get there anyhow. Oh yeah, that Turkish e-visa? I applied for that less than 24 hours in advance too. Asian side, European side? I’ve had a lot of days like this. The f...

Seriously, this thing was like front page news, with people live-tweeting updates about how long the wait times were and how far the line was wrapping around the block. I’m pretty sure I saw one publication that called the cafe’s doorman/bouncer “the most powerful man in New York”. It was an Event. The magical fairyland of Japanese 7-Elevens. May 14, 2014.
