East meets west part 4

We were dropped of at this deserted Cafe and then onwards to KAS

KAS is a small Sea side town Know as a cheap diving destination .I was a dive virgin so liked to give it a shot. It was only costing us about £60 for 2 dives !!!!!!.Ms J had a licence to suba dive

Stayed at a nice relatively cheap place called Ates Pension at http://www.atespension.com/ I would recommend this place as its really cheap and good location.The people who run this place are really nice and helpful.

The family tried to constantly sell us good food and i am glad we had one which was good.

Next day went in to Barakuda Diving centre


I would suggest this diving centre becs the instructors were lovely to get on with and made it a lot more easier than i taught it was.Just jumped in after M with a bit of apprension but once i was in or should i say under i saw a whole new world different sizes and colors of fish to all wierd creatures. The instructor told me to look UP at one point and i wouldnt forget the sight i saw (a bit like the first kiss ;))when i look up 100s of fishes just circling above me, It was strange yet fasinating when u get on the otherside or should i say underside :) .

Ms J was a licence holder so her dive was longer . All of us got out and we were told to come back afternoon another dive around the ruins and stuff .Got back to the Hostel tiredddddddd from the two dives

Decided to have a fancy meal with the wine and stuff so there you are spending some of our last days doing a bit of splashing!!! .I am glad we did it becs we all got to know each other better

Next day after a bit of Hiking and seeing the Arena and what not we buggered off to the hostel and picked that bag and off we went Were ??

Our next destination was Pamukalle which was not so straight forward to get to. A change in Fethiye and then to Denzli and the last bus to Pamukalle

Fethiye (cant say for sure) once we were in Fethiye we worked out we would just be there in time to catch the last bus to Denzli from Denzli we had to catch the last bus to Pamukalee ,The problem was as we arrived in Denzli we made a mad dash pulled but the bus pulled out of the station(tought we lost it for a moment) .Turkey being turkey and we still paying for the Bus ticket at this point (What is with me and Just in time arrival i dont get it. 3 weeks ago 4 trains in europe all caught within 3 mins before departure running panting and more running to the ticket counter ...... well more of it later :)).

Coming back to the story a bloke had stopped the bus just outside the station and we all ran to the bus to get on to it and off we go ..... well i wish Air travel was so simple. Onwards to a picturious mountainious route were we where the only tourist .Kind of nice to just look at them .This mountainious region has great the weather and was like in any hill resort in the Himachal Pradesh in India . Finally in Pamukkale

We stayed in
