Day 5 (Turkey)



Another long day today. This time, we will be driving from west coast of Turkey to eastern part of Turkey. The journey to our next destination was about 12 hours but we do stop by some souvenir shops and also a wine factory.

First stop is a rest area where they serve yogurt mixed with poppy seeds!!! Unfortunately we didn't stop by the poppy farm because we were in a rush. I tried some of it from my friend but I don't really like it because I don't like yogurt. UWEKKKK!!!! Next we move on to a gems factory where they show us the beautiful and of course expensive gems that they have there. The turquoise gems is so beautiful. Wanted to buy one but no one to give to. LOL. So I skip shopping there and just took some pictures only.

We move on and we reach to this volcanic site where these people who lives there actually dig the lava formed stoned into their house. See the pictures when I upload it. It's so nice and beautiful. Bought some souvenir there.

Then we go to a wine factory and they let us taste one of their wine there and they have this beautifully carved bottle that contains their wine in there. Bought 2 bottles of it for USD$8.50 each bottle.

Then now we move on to our hotel, which nothing much there but we have to pay just to use their swimming pool. Shesshhhh!!! That sucks! After dinner, I went to a corner of the hotel lobby and finish a bottle of my wine while chit chatting with some of the tour members here. It's was a fun night and we retire to our room after that.
