Turkish Food from Pamukkale

Breakfast at Lycus River Hotel

On 25 November, there were 2 highlights for me - Cotton Castle and catwalk for me. For breakfast I still wasn't feeling well. Hence that was my plate of breakfast. Was praying very hard to be well, as it was going to be a long day for us.

Pat exploring Cotton Castle

After breakfast, we proceeded to visit the extensive ruins of Hierapolis, an ancient Roman City. Thankfully I was feeling better when we were there, as in the stomach was not giving me any problems.

Hot spring of water

We explored the unique Cotton Castle, a World Heritage Site, made up of fascinating white terraces and pools created by calcereous hot spring waters flowing down the mountain. We dipped our legs into the spring water, a cooling and relaxing effort. We threaded slowly to the far end of the pool. Only Leonard, Xiuling and myself ventured right in, the rest of the group only walked a little and left to explore elsewhere. It was a beautiful sight.

Chocolate cake & Tiramisu look alike

Lunch at Omar Restaurant

Lunch for me was a mixture of pasta, peas, fries, vegetables, chicken and meat. Looks pretty oily.

Pat doing the catwalk

We were next brought to see a fashion show. Yes, for once, just I was happily taking pictures, I was pulled up on stage along with Doris and Rodney to do the catwalk of the leather jackets. Quite cool, it was fun. The leather jacket that I wore was certainly had a nice cut and keeps one warm. Later they brought us to the shop where the leather jackets were sold.
