We landed in Fethiye and bused it over to Selcuk. After being on a rocky sailboat for the past 4 days our sea legs had matured and our land legs were completely gone. It was a really strange feeling, but when you’ll be standing there talking to someone or just walking down the street and all of a sudden you stutter step in one direction as if you were about to fall over. It was quite entertaining and took a good two days before walking on land felt normal.
We ended up checking out the ruins the following day. On the trek to Ephesus we found some outdoor exercise equipment. For some reason this pink contraption below was particularly entertaining. I think Jess had to literally pull us off that machine. The Roman ruins were impressive, but after seeing so much of it on our blues cruise we were not in a state of awe that we should have been. I think there is only so much Roman ruin sightseeing a person can tolerate before getting bored of them. None the less Ephesus was impressive and the amount of preserved and reconstructed architecture is amazing.
In Selcuk I met a fellow American from LA. Jennifer had just done the Blues Cruise as well. She had also just regained her walking abilities. Americans backpackers are rare breed after the summer months because most of them go back to school. At this point, the Americans I do meet are the more hardcore long term travel backpackers. Jennifer has just spent her summer working Greece and will be trying to get a job in Turkey.
