Three hours of bus ride took us to Pamukkale. Like everyone else, we came here for the spectacular travertine pools. As we hopped off the bus, we were immediately led to purchase our bus ticket for our next bus trip. Along the path to the pools, we stopped by a small Asian shop for a bowl of spicy Korean noodles. Hundreds of white travertine pools against the hillside was a spectacular sight, while the barefoot uphill hike was quite a torture to AK and me. Shoes are simply not allowed when stepped into the pools, which makes perfect sense, though it really hurt. We were a little disappointed when we saw most pools were drained. Some said the spring has been diverted to some resort spas in the area. Anyhow, distant views towards the valley down below were quite amazing.
