~ 10 days in Turki (Pt.5) ~

- 4th day -

oh ya, I didn't tell u in d previous entry that we checked in to Ayapam Hotel during our 3rd night in Turki. the room here is quite spacious, with nice interior decoration. feeling satisfied, hehehehe.

 

as usual, we checked out from the hotel after breakfast to continue our journey in Turki. our 1st stop for the day is Pamukkale Natural Park, just to take pictures.

 

we then continued to another factory outlet that sells variety of things, from clothings (shawls, dress, jackets, shoes, bags, etc2), to household items such as kitchen towels, bedsheet and comforter set, pillow, bathrobe, etc2... all with good quality and affordable price (I guess its affordable considering that we got 20% discount for every purchase we make, hehehe). at the end, I purchased two silk shawls for my mom and sister, which I think is quite reasonable. diri sndiri blom ada konfiden nk pki shawl, so mmg xbeli utk diri sndiri.

 

next, we continued our journey to have our lunch. along the way, we made several stops for toilet break and taking pictures. each time our captain stopped at a good place for toilet break, we couldn't stop ourselves from wondering in and out of the shops available at the R&R. almost always we exceeded the 20minutes given by our guide for toilet break simply because we continued our "shopping" at these smaller shops & some ended up having another tea break. yeah, we were flexible...very flexible, hahahaha.

 

~ food = happiness ~

 

for lunch, we had pizza as the main dish. kau dh mkn roti ms toilet break, lpstu masuk pizza lg...haihhhh bolat la pipi heh. first, they served the appetizer and as usual we got soup, bread, and salad. this time, different kind of soup (bkn lentil soup lg), colour mcm tomato soup tp ada mcm meehun kt dlm soup tu. yg pntg, boleh telan la. then they served pizza (1 plate ada 2 different pizza, each flavour ada 3 keping). kalo nk pedas, tuang chilli flakes byk2. then we ordered organic apple juice which is verrrrry refreshing. mmg terbaek la organic apple juice dia.

 

 

after our zohor (and asar) prayer at a nearby mosque, we continued for our Beysehir lake boat ride. before we reached there, at any area where the guide (or captain) felt that the scenery is beautiful, we would stop to take pictures. (trip ni mmg sgt rilex bersantai2 amik gmbr memanjang). by the time we reached Beysehir lake, the timing was just perfect to see the sun sets. on the boat, apart from watching sunset, we could also feed the birds. and dance =) and berangan, muahahahah.

 

 

finally, before we checked in to another hotel, we went to Esrefoglu Mosque, an old mosque that is built since hundreds of years ago. yg best psl msjd ni, its still solid, kukuh walaupun still retain kayu2 yg asal2 digunakan utk bina masjid ni. seriously amazed sbb mmg tradisional sgt.
