================
We picked up a van at the travel agency and were shortly in
Sirince, the guardrail-less curves even more impressive in
the dark. Once there we decided to explore town a bit and
found the wine-merchant district; parked ourselves at a bar
lined with local carpetry to taste various Akberg products:

Bogazkere - your standard overripe wine but not bad for
that. Flavor of prunes and grape stem, medium dry, okay.

Okuzgozu - this variety, with the previous, are the mainstay
of the Anatolian wine industry. I don't know if there is any
relation, but it tasted kind of like Merlot to me, which is
funny, as the Merlot didn't.

Cabernet - surprisingly, it was as horrid as what we had
been served at Dimitro's the previous night - the aroma
slightly cheesy, no discernible fruit, a strange mouth-
coating blandness such as one gets in homemade wine that
has been infected with a trash yeast strain or something.

Merlot - a little better, with cherry and herbal flavors and
actually tasting almost right, but if you should encounter
them on their native soil, do go with the native varietals.

After a few glasses it was clear that it was time for all to
go home - staff, customers, bystanders - and so we did,
quite happier for the experience. We poked around a little
on the way back and found that there was plenty to explore
just in this quaint little town. Next time.
 
We got our traps loaded up early onto a van and said goodbye
to Sirince; again we were dropped off at the travel agency.
This time a different assortment of tourists and an earnest
young guide who had learned English in the army. Our
destination, the travertines of Pamukkale, was a 3-hour bus
ride each way with 3 hours at our destination. In retrospect
an inefficiency, but what did we know. Perhaps the
destination was worth it - certainly it was unique.

We started out late, and then there was this obligatory
rest stop, where lokoum and pomegranate juice were being
sold at double what they cost even at the other tourist
traps ... I just went to the gas station next door and
got a liter of Efes Dark for about the price of a juice.

And then there was the flat tire, which stretched our short
stop into quite a lengthy one, with the result that we
rolled into town nearly an hour late.

During the trip our guide was very dry and very earnest.
Informative, too, I grant, and charming in a charmless sort
of way.

Lunch at another tourist trap right within sights of the
famous travertine terraces was somewhat better than the
previous lunch at a tourist trap, with more selection,
fresher food, and actually some protein dishes.

The weird tasteless desserts, which were sort of like the
Chinese agar unspeakabilities, only less sweet, were a
source of hilarity among those at table.

Pamukkale Senfoni 07 (a Shiraz-Merlot blend) is quite
respectable, not overwrought or oversweet or any of those
common things: good but subdued black fruit, licorice,
longish dryish soft finish. It tasted like an older wine,
to tell the truth. We later found it available another
place at E75 the bottle, about 8x what we paid.

A slightly rushed trip through Hierapolis, the Greek/Roman
city built around the baths, Cleopatra's Pool, where for an
extra ten or so you can soak your troubles away in the
mineral waters, and the travertines themselves, impressive
formations formed similarly to cave deposits, only with warm
water rather than cold. We had the chance to wade in the
waters, piped in to artificially enhanced structures (if the
public were given access to the real ones as they were being
formed, they would never be formed, let's face it). The
Hierapolis museum, which gathers some of the more
interesting finds from the city digs, is small but nice.
