April 8, 1967 – Alanya, Turkey -- the afternoon

"We departed Istanbul by boat to Bandirma March 31st. From there we caught train to Izmr and spent April 1st in Izmir. My main memory of Izmir is the fantastic shoe shine benches. April 2nd we left for Selcuk. Morning of April 3rd we viewed ruins of Efes. Left Selcuk in the afternoon by train to Denizli. Spent April 4th in Denizli walking around town. Departed April 5th for Antalya. April 6 and 7 were spent in Antalya, arrived in Alanya the afternoon of the 8th.

So much for where I was when. Peter and I are again traveling after sitting in Istanbul for two weeks. First Peter had the flu – then I caught Dysentery. We’re well now and making our way along the beautiful coast toward Syria, Jordan and Iraq.

Money is starting to be a problem. I’ll be able to reach India okay. I’m intrigued by the idea of working in Japan or Thailand as an English teacher (btw - nothing came of this idea). Supposedly the money is good from such work; I’ll have to investigate."

Not too exciting a diary entry was it?
