Started and ended the day with visits to a couple of the Seven wonders of the Ancient World, although both past their prime. As I left Selcuk called in at the Temple of Artemis, or rather what was left of it which was mainly one pillar. Still it is a very impressive pillar. Called in at the Tomb of St John and also visited the house were Mary is meant to have spent her last few years. It’s at the top of a mountain so she obviously didn’t like visitors. Mind you the house was only discovered in the 19th Century by a nun in a dream, so I’m not entirely convinced. Still the hordes of pilgrims seem to think there’s something worth coming all the way up the hill for. Called in at Priene were there some wonderful structures. Was just sitting in peace, admiring the work of the Ancient World when a group of loud American tourists arrived, whose sole purpose of climbing up the hill seemed to be to take a picture of their stuffed monkey sitting in the Amphitheatre. Finished the day at Bodrum, home of the of tomb of King Mausolus known as the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus.
