take around 8 hours from m'sia to Doha.

then transit take another 4 hours from doha to istanbul...

but 12 hours for me is quite long...

sit at the plane ther...

when reach turkey..

the time difference is slower than m'sia 5 hours.

and we reach turkey at autumn.

the temperature is just around 20degree celcius....

after take a long flight reach istanbul..

we still have to rush to a small place call bursa..

we take bus.. then ride on a ferry....

the ferry is terrible cold at night..

especially face those wind....

after take a good rest..

i can experience the scene in the movie..

 thing must do..

it's show the local road name that we dunno wat we write.

LOL

 at Bursa, 

we went to ulu mosque, green mosque (but under renovation), green mausoleum and the silk market..

 ther is 3 sound can make a men relax.

1. sound of water... 

2. sound of money...

3. sound of women..

*from our tour guide..

 a typical old lady selling gasing.....

 then.. continue my journey on bus...

seriously.. spend lot of time in the bus...

coz turkey is really big...

normally we travel from one place to another place spend few hours...

some even 8 hours +.....

it is DAY 3 at turkey and i am at pamukkale, i went to Cotton castle, the white colour is not snow but is calcium.. sound awesome.. right?

 the place is really nice....

so sad cant have a bath ther...

*although the weather is cold, but the water ther is not cold but warm. heheh...

 act at wooden castle also got lot of ruins...

but time limitation.. not really can see through one by one....

then.. go the ruins of Troy, it's the movie TROY, do u remember it? near that area have a large wooden Trojan horse, the tour guide say it just a "story" to attract ppl and it build 30 years ago.. hahahha

 

 wake up early morning, take some sea wind beside our hotel... and take some photo tooo.. hehee..
