Hot as hell Troy and Pergamon

A blistering 44 degrees today phew! We are all fried to a crisp. First stop was Troy and very interesting. Tour guide has lots of knowledge on it and not too hot there. Lunch was "different" - we went to a village and were taken in small groups to various houses where we were given local food. Lovely hostesses but the food was dripping in oil, plus some of their home made wine, not what we are used to though. Then a long drive to Pergamon which we was really good but in 44 degrees heat we were all sagging a bit. Forecast is for 32 in the shade tomorrow so a wee bit cooler than today. The hotel we are in is very poor compared with yesterday's which had amazing service and food. This one has no service at all and most of us ended up bringing up our own bags and the set menu was set to a choice of one thing. And it is purportedly 5 star. Ephesus tomorrow and looking forward to that.
