Finally, I came home.  I felt my blood freeze when I heard my flight was canceled, but  I could get alternative flight. Therefore, I could have few hours to do the sights of connecting point, Amsterdam. I looked many Goghs and Rembrandts (and his famous Night Watch).

I'm going to start working from the day after tomorrow.

I came to Athens by way of Delfi. Landscapes of Greece are anything like dynamic. I went to Aegina Island by ferry. It wasn't driven ashore by good fortune.

Tomorrow, I'm planning to set out for Egypt. If possible, I'm going to take a midnight train to Aswan on the same day.

OK, I missed the bus. An agent told me that the arrivel time was 20:15 and the departure time was 20:30. I went to the station 10 minutes before the arrival time. Despite this, my bus had already gone. But because of my clamour, the agent send me to the next station by his car, I could catch up with my bus without problems.

After 3 days staying in Istanbul, I left the city. It was supremely impressive city. I enjoyed sightseeing, shopping( I could buy Mavi Jeans at a low price) and cruising ( I went close to Black Sea).

I got on a midnight train to Greece(Thessaloniki). The train was 5 hours late, so I had only 4 hours to do the sights of the city. Then I took another train, and came to Kalambaka, here. Kalambaka is famous for monasteries on gigantic rocks, "METEORA". The sceneries were absolutery splended. How could people built such buildings?

I learned spelling "Cappadocia" is majority.

Yesterday and today, I took an excursion tour including underground cities and Ihlara valley which is difficult to go by oneself.First day, I walked around on foot, but I gave up because roads are very steep and there is remaining snow.

There are lots of Japanese in Cappadocia in this season. Maybe the number of foreign tourist is relatively small, so Japanese tourists are standing out.

I'm leaveing this town and going back to Istanbul tonight. I have to take a bus in 15 minutes...

I left Japan on February 29th, and arrived in Turkey on March 1st. It was over 24 hours flight including waiting times. The time difference between Japan and Turkey is 7 hours, so I'm still sleepy in the early evening.

I did the sights of Istanbul and left there the day before yesterday. Then, I visit Ephesus, and today, I'm in Pamukkale. I wish I could explain what these cities looked like, but it is difficult for me now (I might do when I return cousulting dictionaries).

I'm leaving Pamukkale by tonight midnight bus, and going to Kappadokia. I expect it will be one of the best spot in this trip. I'm going to spend 3 days in Kappadokia, and go back to Istanbul and spend more 3 days. Then, I'm going to Greece.

See you again.
