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

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.

Regensburg

Regensburg was the first capital of Bavaria, the residence of dukes, kings and bishops, and for 600 years an imperal free city. Regensburg is located at the confluence of the Danube and Regen rivers, at the northernmost bend in the Danube. To the east lies the Bavarian Forest. Regensburg is the capital of the Bavarian administrative region Upper Palatinate. The large medieval centre of the city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Oskar Schindler lived in Regensburg for years, and today one of his houses bears a plaque to his achievements commemorated in the Steven Spilberg epic Schindler's List. 

We, a group of international students, decided that Regensburg is worth of visiting. And so, on sunny Sunday, there was 11 of us, who explored the city together =)
