Pamukkale and Hieropolis - WOW!

Location, location -that was definitely foremost in the Romans' minds when they built the city of Hieropolis above the beautiful cascading white terraces of Pamukkale.  They are not only stunning but cover a huge area, and as an added bonus flow over with warm mineral water. The ruins of Hieropolis are impressive too and it was obviously a large weallthy city in its time. A very long drive today to Bursa where we visited a mosque. Very lovely, and in daily use. Then on to the hotel. Nice room with a courtyard below  in which is set up lots of tables covered in white, plus a stage with loud speakers. It is apparently a henna party which will stop at midnight but until then it could be noisy. Not really what we wanted.
