Pamukkale

Arrived yesterday night by train and bus in Pamukkale.  Pamukkale meaning "cotton castle" in Turkish - in southwestern Turkey.

The city contains hot springs and travertines, terraces of carbonate minerals left by the flowing water. People have bathed in its pools for thousands of years and now also we three. Beautiful nature experience - water is our favourite element =)

The ancient Greco-Roman and Byzantine city of Hierapolis was built on top.
