Who said labcoats aren't fancy?
If they are not, you can make them ;)
All you need is:
- some  fantasy
- brush
- textile colours
- and of course your "unfancy" labcoat

That's how I embellished mine:

Turkey part 2

3 slovenians went to mediterranean part of the Turkey:
- knowledge of turkish language: 0,000001% (tamam = ok, Ben su gibi bir kIzIm=I'm a girl as pure as water, čok = a lot) :D
- over 3000 driven kilometers by bus
- a lot of whiskey to prevent the runs
- immense moments of joy

The buses in Turkey have better service than airplanes. There is steward, who serves food and drinks, and every chair has touch-screen TV, music, games... Like a boss!

 Cappadocia = "the land of beautiful horses", and amazing stone shapes

 Underground city - kinda to small for me 

 

 Hand made potery

 Pamukkale = "cotton castle" is know by its ancient city, calcium hotwater springs, and travertines

 Vivid demonstartion of ancient public toiltes

 travertines - terraces of carbonate minerals left by the flowing water

Roman Ephesos = EFES, does it ring a bell? No? What about Efes Pilsen :P

 

 NIKE = goodness of victory, guess which company took ker shape for theirs brand logo

 Ancient library

 Fethiye

 Johnny Depp offering to ride jet sky with him :P

 ŠIŠA

Antalya

 Aspendos theatre. There are only 3 theatres on the world that have preserved whole stage building. Apendos is one of them.

Can you find a heart? ;)

Turkey part 1: Istanbul

I've spent one amazing year with my turkish friend Eylem in Germany. She came to Slovenia to meet her slovenian family and explore our land: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dq1w4sMAHnQ
So this summer I went to Turkey to do the same :)

ISTANBUL is the largest city in Turkey. Istanbul is a transcontinental city, straddling the Bosphorus-one of the world's busiest waterways—in northwestern Turkey, between the Sea of Marmara and the Black Sea. Its commercial and historical center lies in Europe, while a third of its population lives in Asia.

Bodensee - Day 3

Day 3 (1.7.2012): Meersburg - Friedrichshafen - Wasserburg (40km)

After the evening storm, there were some storms during the night and another one after breakfast. Then, the sky cleared up, and we went discovering charming sites of the city Meersburg:

 Old Castle

 New Castle

The Meersburg vineyards at the northern banks of Lake Constance are famous within Germany. The rosée "Weissherbst" wine is a specialty of the region. And I can tell you firsthand, that this wine is really delicious.

Friedrichshafen - the city of the Zeppelins!! Friedrichshafen is less of a tourist resort than an industrial town with a promenade. Its main claim to fame is as the home of Zeppelin airships. In the late 1800s, Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin, who had seen hot-air balloons used during the American Civil War, developed a rigid airship powered by gas. The first of his cigar-shaped models was launched in 1900 and passenger flights to America followed. Although the Zeppelin dream ended when the 245m-long Hindenburg exploded on landing in New Jersey in 1937, in the 21st century you can still take a Zeppelin trip (now using non-inflammable gas).

We saw one flying:

You might ask yourself why are there no photos of Wassersburg. Well, the rain caught us again, so there was no time to really explore the city. We only found the train station and took the train from Wasserburg to Lindau and then back to Freising.
It was an amazing cycling trip!!
