We got a taxi from the boat the collect our hire car. After the taxi driver had driven past the car hire place, asked someone at another taxi rank and then done a u-turn he kindly deducted a few lira from the fare on the meter. When we got to the office no-one was in - turns out we had arrived earlier than we said. Anyway we were soon sorted out and on our way back to Naviga I (or as close as we could get) to collect Carol and Stephen and all our bags.
The crew kindly carried the bulk of the luggage and, as a nice man had moved a “Tourist Information No Parking sign” so that we could park long enough to load up, hugs and good wishes were exchanged all around and off we set for Pammukale.
Stephen was in the front navigating and I tried to limit the long left short right reminders from the back as much as possible.
Despite having confirmed that we would not have a room with a round bed, and we would have views of the garden, when we arrived at The Melrose in Pammukale we had a round bed and the room had a view of a vacant block that was mostly a dust bowl.
However, the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Pammukale and its travertine terraces did not disappoint, it was amazing. How anyone could have ever thought that building five hotels on top of it is unbelievable, and I am so glad they are not there now.
The sunset didn’t quite deliver the colour we had hoped but it was still a pretty impressive sight, despite the hordes of fellow tourists
