There and Back

I have been to one of the most fascinating places in the world and back: t he perfectly mind-boggling Turkish Aegean coast. From sunken Assuryan ships carrying bronze ignots to forge the weapons of the next battle, which we were subsequently to learn about, to Greek theatres strewn about the countryside, this is most certainly a treasure chest of human civilisation and the most rewarding find in many years. And one of the best things about it, unlike Greece which made a mess out of its hillsides and coastlines handing them over to land speculators and private investors, this bit of Turkey is completely unspoiled. It is just there and I shall be back soon!!
