This morning was an early start. I am feeling religious as I have been to a mosque at Konya along with half of the population of Turkey I think. It is the Diem and they are holidaying, the mosque is a shrine where the founder of the Whirling Dervishes is buried. Late this afternoon I went to a 'performance' by the Whirling Dervishes. It was interesting, different. It was on my wish list and am pleased that I saw it but not sure I would bother again. Lots of chanting and whirling around. I don't know how they can continue to whirl for at least 20 minutes at a time and not get giddy. I think I was giddy watching them.
This hotel is clean, but the bathroom is small. We are actually here for 2 nights so there might have to be some domestic chores such as washing etc.
Tomorrow will be a full day again but around this area which will be nice after travelling 700 km today. We finally sat down to dinner at 8.45pm. But it was lovely.
This photo was taken from my hotel window yesterday morning. In the background is the Aegean Sea and the foreground is the hotel pool.
