Belek: The land of all-inclusives
21 de outubro de 2022, Turquia ⋅ ☀️ 75 °F
We’ve been missing golf so decided on Belek, just past Antalya. A bunch of nice courses on the map and even one fully lighted so you can play at night! Turns out, it’s a bit more challenging to get tee times on short notice here so we only ended up playing the New Course at Gloria Golf Club. Gorgeous, flat, and not too challenging—just what my golfy soul needed.Leia mais

Capadocia (Kapadokya)
27 de outubro de 2022, Turquia ⋅ ☀️ 63 °F
We took a couple of walks/hikes to to take in more of the scenery. Nice trails. Tried to find an alternate route down into Love Valley but finally called it after 4 attempts of getting close only to be stopped by a 12’ drop—my adventurousness disappears at the possibility of a broken leg.

We loved waking up early to see the balloons from our room—almost as good as being up there but with coffee and a warm bed only a few steps away. Donny loved having a real fireplace in the room that he could fiddle-fart with until the wee hours. Totally worth having smoky clothes — there’s just something about falling asleep to the dancing light and crackle of a wood fire. 🥰

Found a great restaurant run by a lovely family. The 20YO daughter spoke excellent English so we had great chats with her & her Dad as our interpreter. The food was outstanding and I love the ease and surprise of a prix fixe menu. Can I say it again? Turkish mezzes are sooooo delicious!Leia mais

Athens
12 de novembro de 2022, Grécia ⋅ ☁️ 61 °F
Quick overnight in Athens before our cruise departure. We were surprised to learn that the notable ruins in Athens and Ephesus are roughly the same age, given that Ephesus is in so much better condition. Plus you were allowed to get much closer with those in Ephesus (like sitting in the theater and walking on the stage), so they get my vote.

Got to see the truly one-of-a-kind “changing of the guards” ceremony at the Monument to the Unknown Soldier and the running of the Authentic Marathon (starts in Marathon and ends at the Panathenaic Stadium).

Glad we checked the box but wouldn’t rush to return—Turkey is a much better value and we love the food there.Leia mais

Kusadasi, Take 2
14 de novembro de 2022, Turquia ⋅ 🌙 63 °F
First stop for the cruise is our second visit to Kusadasi. Since we already hit Ephesus the last time here, we took the opportunity to get some laundry done (such nice people) and pick up a few things. I was in need of more contact lenses so we stopped in at an optician’s shop. They wouldn’t honor my American prescription but another customer who spoke English told us another shop down the road would and literally walked us there. SO NICE! And, bonus! Contacts are about 2/3 the cost of what they would be in the US.

Walked around a bit more then retrieved our laundry and stopped in to a little place for a snack. Chatting with the very gregarious owner, I mentioned how much I wanted to try Cig Kofte and his chef made us some. Absolutely amazing flavors. Why is it that raw meat is so much more filling than cooked?!Leia mais

Tel Aviv Food Tour
16 de novembro de 2022, Israel ⋅ ⛅ 70 °F
Hopped a train down to Tel Aviv, then a quick 20-minute walk to meet up with our food tour group for a tasting tour through 2 markets, where the highlights were THE MOST AMAZING hummus you’ve ever tasted (eaten by dipping a raw onion petal in like a chip) and such, such beautifully tasty falafel from the tiniest market vendor stall.

I would definitely come back to Tel Aviv just for the food.Leia mais

Super cool waking up in the Suez Canal on a foggy morning . The scope of this thing boggles the mind. Very trippy to see roads that were bisected by the canal, way back when…how so many people’s lives must have changed.Leia mais
