Getting ready to visit Ephesus!

I'm enjoying Selcuk, the town near Ephsus, and staying in a very nice pension run by a charming family, who don't include tech saavy among their charms. So I'm not sure whether I can even post this update on their sluggish internet. No hope of pictures! But all is well and I'm looking forward to seeing Ephesus this morning.

Those who know me may be shocked to hear that I've signed on to a guided tour. After trying to see Pergamon with by reading a guidebook and eavesdropping on passing tour groups, I've decided it's worth splashing out for Ephesus. The context is a big help when you're looking at ruins.

This town is famous for storks that nest on the tops of the old Roman aquaducts. Alas, they've just migrated back to Africa, so I can't provide any stork photos for Uncle Dean, our great family birder.

More when I have better internet...

  1. Good for you, there's no shame in joining a tour group now and then. I hope camera battery chargers are more in evidence than broadband.
