Turkey, Day 7

Another drive west.  This time to Antalya itself and a visit to the old town.

Found a big free car park just 10 minutes walk from Hadrians Arch, gateway to the old town. It's a smaller but more intact version of the one at Perge. 

Set in the ground, there's a 'track' to follow, which takes you to the main places of interest. Just as well, as we had no map.

Catherine was suffering a bit in the sun again, so we probably didn't get the best from our visit. Dressed for 30+ degrees, we weren't dressed for going in the mosque and it turned out that the main archaeological museum was almost 2 miles west, so we scrapped that idea and decided to head back 'home' so Catherine could go to the beach for a swim.

We found somewhere new for dinner. A bit more upmarket than recent nights. Discussion over veggie options was a tad difficult at first but after a while they understood Catherine's requirements and she had a nice veggie wrap.

Tomorrow is our last day with the car and we are off to Aspendos, another ancient site.
