Day 3 (Turkey)

Had to wake up early today because we have a long journey to go. First in the morning, we go to the city of Troy. There we could see the ruins of the ancient city, Troy and there is really a Trojan horse there (still no picture yet). Do you all know about the war between Greeks and the Trojan's? It was a myth and till today there is no hard proof that says there was this war. (Like in the movie) but the city of Troy does really exist and it was so nice and so beautiful. Sadly it was ruined by the occasionally earth quake in Turkey. So what we see right now is only the ruins. Manage to pick up some rocks from the wall of Troy. Hehehehe.....

Next we head to an olive oil factory which is just about an hours bus ride to more southern of Troy. There we learned how the olive oil was made and how does the trees look like. Do you know that an olive tree and produce olive fruits for a thousand years?!!! WOW! I could be a olive tychoon if I have a farm like that. LOL.

Next, another long journey down south again. (I forgot the name of that place currently) Let me check the map again I'll tell you) In the mean time, we reach to this beautiful hotel. And guess what? I manage to get a Turkish Bath!!!! COOL!!! I love it! I'll give it a 5 star rating. You have my recommendation for it. What so nice? Hehehehehe.... Let me tell you la, ha? First when we reach the hotel, after checking in and all those stuff, we were told if we want a Turkish Bath we have to book a time for it and I did. I took the 8.30pm appointment, because the dinner starts at 7.30pm and I want to be first one to go for it first. (I'll tell you why later) And others of our tour members went for the 9pm and some 9.30pm appointment.

After dinner, I was so anxious for the bath and I arrived first at the door of the bath. LOL. Kiasu eh? When 8.30pm arrives, I walked in to the bath and there I met this nice Turkish chap and I told him I'm here for the 8.30pm appointment. Next, he showed me the changing room which only a 3 metre by 4 metre room and only covered using a curtain. So I went in there and put my things in the locker provided, and stripped my self down (except my swimming trunks ofcourse) LOL. Then he just dashed in ask me whether I want him to massage me or his wife..... I was like er..... your wife? I said, it's ok for him to massage me. LOL. So he bring me in to this round room and there was this mosaic table in the center of the room. In the room, it was like sauna with the heat just rush to my face and semi-naked body. Then he ask me to lay down on the mosaic table. And guess what, the table is hot!!! I felt like I'm being fried like a steak when I lay down on it. Then he splash alot of water over my body and also the table because I was like a worm crying out for my life up there. And when he notice that, he poured some cold water on me. How embarassing. LOL. After my whole body is wet and reddish like a lobster, he use a silk glove and start rubbing my whole body. According to them, that supposed to rub off all the dead skin on your body. I felt so nice........ hehehehehe...... It's like you are being pampered and someone is bathing you just like when you are a baby last time. LOL. After the scrub, here comes the soap. He dips in this cloth and makes bubbles from it. Hmmmm.... It's hard to describe it now. Anyway, he puts the bubbles on me, and again I felt like I'm a baby again playing with the bubbles. LOL. With the body fulls of bubbles, he begans to rub and scrub and massage me again. It feels so nice. The massage last about 20 mins. Back of the body, legs, arms, butt, hands, neck, and head. A full body massage. It feels so nice. After that, he pours more water on me, to get rid of the soap from my body. And he asked me to wake up and brought me a towel to dry myself up. Next he brought me out of the room, while I'm still sweating like a pig, and he asked me to lay down on a chair and give me a mud facial treatment. LOL. And that was the end of the Turkish Bath. All that, for only USD$30!!! Cheap eh? I would recommend you guys who ever got a chance to come to Turkey, you should try it but the ones in main city would cost more and shorter massage time. If you really wanted it, should go for it out of the city limits. Woohoo!! Feels so refresh now. And it's just nice for my bed time.
