First day of Fun

Working to catch up on blogs, I will talk a little bit about Saturday. It was our first day of fun, we could kinda sleep in (up by 9 instead of 8) and we had a tour already planned. But nothing goes as planned when you are a member of the IRC. We had no rooms for the night even though we paid for them. The hotel thought we were checking out with everyone else. We had to wait about 40 minutes in the lobby to get this cleared up. This meant that we lost almost an hour of our tour. Once the mess was cleared up, we were on our way to Perge or the old city.

Perge had a bunch of Greek and Roman ruins. It was amazing and a lot of good photos were taken. The view of the area was breath taking. Our tour guide was great, he spoke broken English but it was enough for us to understand. He explained each part of Perge well and made sure we understood the history. Being the tourist we are, we just wandered and took pictures. He gave us some free time after to take pictures which worked out because this allowed us to walk up a hill and get amazing photos of Perge.

After Perge we visited a park with some waterfalls. It wasn't anything really special because it seemed to be more of a tourist attraction than something natural. It was still nice to take pictures and have fun as group. The best part was that there were camels and some of us rode them. I unfortunately didn't get to ride the camel but it was fun watching everyone else.

Our last stop was the Bazaar in Antayla. It was packed and loud. Every vendor tried to pull us into the shop even the food vendors were trying so hard to get us to go in and buy food. It was a fun experience and something that should be experienced.
