The Worm Has Turned

Antalya has been a reconciliation between Turkey and I. On the way here I happened to be on the same bus as an Australian guy, Wayne, that I hung out with a bit in Selcuk. He even happened to be heading for the same guest house as me. The staff put us in a three bed room since the six bed dorm was full, and he left this morning so I have a room to myself, while still paying hostel rates! 

Antalya seems like a really cool city. The old historic section of the city is where most of the pensions and boutique hotels are located, and the area is mostly closed off to vehicles so it's really quiet. I hit up the old Roman Harbour and a beach in the city, both of which are very beautiful. The beach was pebbles instead of sand, but was still cool. I ended up with a good sunburn so tomorrow ill have to figure out something minimal sun-related, maybe the museum.

I've booked in here until Wednesday but the way this city feels so far I might end up staying until Friday. Things are groovy again, the universe is so cool! (Into the Wild reference)
