Izmir is quite interesting. It’s very cool that it’s a port on the Aegean, and there’s definite Greek influences! But we went to the bazaar today and got hassled a lot – still not quite as bad as Egypt, but worse than the Istanbul Bazaar!
After escaping from there Lina and I wandered along the waterfront with our icecreams (pistachio Magnums – yum!) and came back to meet the gals for a drink watching the sunset and the ships on the Aegean. Then we had a room party with chips and some drinks from the corner shop!
Back on the bus tomorrow – 9 hours to Istanbul. Apparently the ferry doesn’t run on Tuesdays (possibly that one that sank a few weeks ago!) so we’re on the otobus again. Boo.
