棉花堡Pamukkale-First ESN trip in Turkey

This is the first overnight with the ESN in Izmir, and we had a blast.

One week ago was the boat trip, and this time is to the famous Pamukkale.

With sun and rain, we all began

Because I live kind of far, in the town Urla, so my bro Ada helped me crash in their house in Şirinyer.

With all the deu students, foreign and local, we had a chilled night.

and the next morning, it's time to hit the road!

In the bus is mainly the show time of our man, Adriano with endless power.

After a long ride, we stopped a lot of toilets, and finally, we had our lunch at 3

And then is the first stop, Salda salt lake

We were worried about the rain just happened, but even though it's cold, but the rainbow comes.

Jumping into the lake is actually not that cold, and the water is sweet.

And behind the scene

with 5 hours of bus ride, we stopped here for 20 minutes.

We saw Pamukkale on the way to the hotel, first insight, paragliding.

and then, the hotel.

The hotel is really the spotlight of the trip, where I enjoyed the most.

We have two thermal pools, one swimming pool and a bunch of crazy people!

well, the same old routine, music, dancing, alcohol.

all the way till the next day.

at 2 we go for Pamukkale

with a tour guide, and walking around.

hmm, Chinese restaurant, White Dragon

our tour gide

Look at us waiting in line, the crowd

well they let us in after they found that we are wasting too much time

more Chinese everywhere

following the guide, a long line

holy light, holy crap

historical thing

this is a pool which costs extra, and very touristic, plus today is raining and getting freezing cold

look at the sky

well, I'm really used to it

And then the rain comes again. it got really cold, and we don't have much time to enjoy the view.

But still I need to be the poser.

always panorama

let's walk down our path

one good thing is that less tourists today!

and of course the monkey nature comes

After walking down, we all changed ours clothes immediately.

It's really a fun trip and I enjoyed it, though I had a cold after that and having constant fever during my first week of school. 

But it's worth it.
