This entry is continuous from the previous one...
Again about Turkey...
Day 6 - 27th December 2011
As usual, we enjoyed breakfast at the hotel and after the breakfast the tour begin..
First place we went for today is "
HOUSE OF VIRGIN MARY". This place located at Mt Koressos.
Turkey people and khatolik people believe that John brought Virgin Mary here to spend her last days here.
Some of people also spread the rumors or maybe that was fact that become history today where one of "father" (paderi) had a dream here about the virgin mary..
Who knows the truth accept Allah..But we Muslim do not believe this kind of things....

I am in front of the drinking water pipe represent of Wealth, Fire and Love....total 3 pipes and I'm at the Love one (Aku x minum pon, tgk saje)
|
Ada satu port yang betul2 menarik perhatian aku kat sini..
Dia mcm wall of wish, kiranya similar mcm kat Korea ada "padlock" tuk love wish.
Kat sini most of the people tulis atas kertas apa yg diaorg wish dlm hidup, mcm doa mereka lah..
Tp sebagai umat Islam, I advice x perlu lah put your doa in this wall...It's nice to see this kind of things..
Rare and x ada di M'sia...

| The Wish Wall |
Pas penat memusing dekat House of Virgin Mary kitaorg pergi ke next destination. Visit to "
EPHESUS".
Ephesus an ancient Greek city, and later major Roman city, on the west coast of Asia Minor. Dekat Ephesus nie, mostly korang just boleh walk around, hirup udara segar, nikmati pemandangan, ketahui dan pelajari history and the most important thing is camera whore every where....but sekeliling dipenuhi batu2, column2, beam2 and arch....

| Rock City |

| Boleh tak korang imagine mcm mana manusia pada zaman dahulu boleh buat bangunan semegah dan sekukuh ini even that time tak ada pon jentera2 besar dan teknologi canggih seperti hari ini....Fikir2 kan dan selamat beramal |
Around 5.30pm we went to Kusadasi to had a night there...
From Pamukkale to Kusadasi took around 2 1/2 hours by bus and 189km..
Day 7 - 28th December 2011
Kitaorg visit "
ACROPOLIS" on the 7 day. Acropolis is located at Pergamum and certainly dramatic, perched a top a high, steep-sided hill at the eastern reaches of the modern city.
Dekat sini gak ada a great temples and a huge and large theater, and it's also visible from anywhere in the city.
Klu korang jerit dari pentas dia, boleh dengar sound of gema. Seem mcm application of acoustic system.
Sama jugak dekat "
ALTAR OF ZEUS". Another one kota batu which is diconstructed by Eymenes II sekitar tahun 197-159BC. This place also a memorial of Pergamum's victory masa zaman Galatians pada zaman pemerintahan Attalus I.
(Penah dah citer sejarah batu2 nih...x abes lagi nih, ada lagi kota batu lepas nie, it's so k...sharing ilmu dapat pahala apa kan)
Klu ada info yang x betui tue sorry la kan, aku dapat dari tour guide aku and a few from books n booklet yg aku dapat....hikhik
Hahahahha...
Nie best, sbb ada kuda besaq..
Sapa tahu??? silalah teka...
Ada dulu filem pasal Kuda nie, Tom Cruise berlakon wei....ingat x????

Okay2, we drive to TROY for our last destination of the day.
A bit about Troy, the entrance to archaeological ancient city of Troy (ancient Ilion) where Greek and Trojan heroes fought the Trojan War for the honor of the beautiful Helen, also known as "the face that launched a thousand ships".
Tour guide kitaorg ada gak citer pasal kisah kanak2 lelaki yang dibuang ke bukit tue...tp aku dh x bape nak ingat jalan cier Troy nih. Moral of the story, kena tgk balik citer TROY la jawabnyer..
(
okay pi cari skang, download...eh jap2, abeskan baca blog aku dulu!!!!)

Day 8 - 29th December 2011
Canakkale - Istanbul (507KM)
What a long journey....
From Canakkale we took a ferry to the city side. About 45minutes in the ferry.
Then a long drive to Istanbul, +- 5hours...
At Istanbul we visit "
BLUE MOSQUE". This mosque is the masterwork of Ottoman architecture and the only mosque in the world with siz minarets and famous for its blue tiles..
The design superb fantastic and awesome..serious x tipu, chandelier dia sebesar2 yang boleh...siap leh turun and naikkan..
Nak masuk dalam mosque nie pon after prayer time, ada masa lawatan, then kasut lak kena bukak masukkan dalam plastik....
Beside the Mosque is the location of magnificent "ST.SOFIA MUSEUM"....
Ayu pernah cerita pasal St.Sofia Museum nie dlm previous entry....so do remembered k..
Kami x berkesempatan nk melawat "Topkapi Palace" disebabkan kekangan masa...sume otak dah aim ke "GRAND BAZAAR"...opppsssss...shopping more important :)
But one more important thing is "
BOSPHORUS CRUISE".
We had booked for private basis to board the cruise..opkos x leh membazir..ahakss
Special about cruise nie sbbnyer korang leh tgk Turkey in 2 side - EUROPE and ASIAN..
Pemandangan sepanjang cruise nie sgt2 mengujakan..
Rumah2 di pinggir laluan boat nie indah2 and cantek2 sangat..A few istana raja tersergam indah..
I love the view there, if you had a lot of money pon belom tentu dapat beli tanah kat tepi2 laluan selat tue...
Indah nyer ibarat lukisan didepan mata, and my boss ckp Venice pon x secantek nie...

Last check point and our last destination for the whole trip is "
GRAND BAZAAR"
Bazaar nie tutup pada setiap hari Ahad..and for the info this bazaar is one of oldest and largest indoor bazaar. With over 3,000 shops here. Korang leh dapatkan pa sahaja koleksi daripada buatan tangan sehingga ke kulit, barangan kemas, perhiasan, antik, lukisan, cenderamata and etc..
The most important thing kena pandai bargain okay...
And watch out okay sbb org2 Turkey nie terlebih mesra and gatalnya....especially for women, kena beware...
