Kusadasi is a tourist town in Turkey. Most importantly is that it is the nearest port to ancient Ephesus. Ephesus was a town around 200bc which is being excavated slowly piece by piece to reveal the remains of the ancient city.
Some say it is better preserved ancient city than Pompeii and I tend to agree.
Via this android Blogger app I am using on this inexpensive tablet I can only post one photo. I need to be able to post 40 photos to truly show you this remarkable place.
A section of the site has some incredibly preserved Terrace houses occupied during the town's life. These have been painstakingly preserved and uncovered to create a remarkable display.
We had our hassles with the cut price tour we took. Some of the participants were due to sail at 1;30 pm which meant some sections of the tour were cut short to ensure they got back on time.
Again there were 4 or 5 cruise ships in the harbour so tourist sites were packed.
There was reachable free WiFi from our verandah of our cabin on the ship which allowed us to do emails and Facebook upon our arrival. I also caught up with all the footy scores.
However I needed better WiFi to add credit to my phone and to upload two blog posts. Unfortunately in my haste to get them up online they are out of order.
We have just sailed into Santorini (Tuesday) and the site of all these white houses high up on the steep hills surrounding the Port is stunning.
We only have 3 more ports to the end of the cruise. We have been trying to call Kate in Saudi We rang several times yesterday for no answer while we tried a couple of times too unsuccessfully. We will persist.
