On the Mediterranean

On our first night in Antalya, we walked the short distance to Kaleici, the Old Town, and had a drink as the sun set over the bay. We drove down those mountains for hours on our way here on Friday. Quite spectacular in the day and evening.

Saturday was Sharon's birthday and before her three hour Turkish bath and massage, we visited the Roman Theatre at Aspendos just to the east of Antalya. — Saturday was Sharon’s birthday and before her three hour Turkish bath and massage, we visited the Roman Theatre at Aspendos just to the east of Antalya.

That's Sharon way down on lower right. I later tested the acoustics by singing a little Puccini. It got a few laughs in the arena and we chuckled when we heard someone singing the same tune later. — That’s Sharon way down on lower right. I later tested the acoustics by singing a little Puccini.

Sharon spotted this man sitting waiting for a tram and suggested the photo. She's got a good eye. — Sharon spotted this man sitting waiting for a tram and suggested the photo. She’s got a good eye.

An elevator took us down to the harbour.

Today we walked for some time around the Old Town visiting a couple of old restored Ottoman houses which now serve as museums. The streets are narrow and provide shade usually on half of the street which is good as the low 20s we saw in Anatolia is now high 20s.
