My first trip to Turkey - Part 1

My boyfriend and I just returned from our trip to the Turkish Riviera on Thursday. It was the first time I ever visited Turkey and also the first time I set foot on the continent Asia...

Here are some pictures I made. More will follow soon:

Through the city of Manavgat flows a river with the same name. We spent two great days there and enjoyed a fantastic Turkish meal in a small restaurant by the riverside.

During our trip we also got to the the Taurus Mountains. As you can the in the picture the clouds were kissing the mountaintops. It was so much more impressing when seeing it with one's own eyes.

Here you can see one of the sepulchres in the necropolis Hierapolis.

This is one of the sarcophagi in Hierapolis. This old necropolis was very impressing. You could feel ancient times all around you.

Please excuse my bad English. I'm so tired right now and seem to have trouble to find the right words today. Although I read many English books the language is slipping away from me - due to lack of practice, I guess.

More pictures will follow soon.
