Day 6 of Turkiye : Bergama Acropolis & Trojan Horse

 

a happy day started with a can of iced coffee each!!! the best consumable at our breakfast table... 😂😂😂... i luv supermarket...  


the humongous sun @ 7am.... 



"han yeong" from the leather jacket store 




we were invited to watch a fashion show... we were seated machiam like celebrities @ 品牌时装周 and i gotten the best seat... right at the front end of the runway...😂😂😂


有彩蛋 in the video!!! Angela was so spontaneous when invited up the stage!!! 

we were given a number card and a pencil to mark down any jacket that we were interested in... to be honest, some of the jackets were really pretty... luv how the models swung and flipped the reversible jackets about on the runway... 

but leather jacket not my style leh... told Angela that i would need to learn to ride a bike to match this leather jacket that i like most from this store... 😂😂😂

and for their pricing (in usd), i would rather buy a pair of Gucci shoes or Chanel accessories that i would don on more often... =P 






i made tour guide's day when refusing to be the lightbulb in the cable car 😉





couldnt find the entrance to Angela's holy ground #2 but she claimed that she touched the ceiling of the ceiling of the ceiling of the theatre since we were were where the arrow was pointing at... 😂😂😂






sibei unglam... 😂😂😂




Let us out!!! It's freaking HOT in here!!!

<  Trojan Horse > 
the OCD in me wanted to push the top half of this sculpture 'back' to be aligned at the edges...  



This clapboard Trojan Horse was the one used in the 2004 movie "Troy". It was donated to Canakkale, this city that's adjacent to the archaeological site that was once the ancient city of Troy, by the film’s producers.

Day 5 of Turkiye : Ruins of Ephesus in Anatolia
















others had to pay for this... Angela received it as a gift from the Turkish man with nice voice... 😂😂😂



library of Celsus


our youngest member was the flag-bearer of the day!!! 




found a perfect shade while listening to tour guide's sharing on Ephesus...  









Angela @ her Holy Ground
Ancient theatre that could hold up to 24k spectators



such a pretty ruin of Ephesus, i enjoyed tourist-ing here much... 



this slushie cost 200 lira (S$8.29)... kenna chopped!!!... but it was necessary on this hot hot super hot day in the open for more than an hour... 



puppies coming soon!!! 



our bus parking charges was 300 lira (S$12.44)... ex ah?!?!?! 



Night stay at Faustina Hotel & Spa 
prettiest hotel on this trip because it's right next to the Aegean sea.... our room was simple, spacious but not on the side that came with a sea view... =S 


this was the earliest day and the only day where we reached our hotel by 6.30pm and for god knows what reason, dinner was scheduled to be at 8pm in the hotel cafe that has this beautiful sea view... reminds me of the hotel restaurant at Fiji


Anita came to ask for a cup noodle and got us wanting to eat it too even though we weren't hungry... 😅😅😅


since we had an hour ++ to spare, we explored the beach & the neighbourhood on our own... 





happy us chanced upon two supermarkets!!! and Magnum ice cream was at only 45 lira (S$1.87) each... comparing apples to apples... i really felt like a carrot, kenna chopped at all the pit stops & places of visit... =S  






so peaceful and relaxing 😍😍😍.... can use as lullaby for days when i'm too anxious to sleep in complete darkness and silence... 


As the night was still young, Angela went down to enjoy a drink with the rest while i enjoyed quiet ME TIME with mask, cream & moisturizer... 😍😍😍

a part of me was like, "Oooooo, i can stay in the hotel room by myself, does it mean i can go solo travelling liao???" 



Being a 520 or a 250 today!!! 😎
