Pergamon

The acropolis of ancient Pergamon sits above modern Bergama. Its a spectacular site and setting. 

Most spectacular of all is the precipitous theatre. Emerging from the tunnel at the top, Lyn ruined her ladylike reputation by exclaiming, "Holy Shit".

Our next adventure was a carpet place where there was a silk spinning demonstration. Lyn sat with a lady who taught her how to do a double or Gordian knot.

After lunch we went to the Asklepion site -a famous hospital and temple.

By mid afternoon it was baking hot so we fled to the hotel for a quiet few hours before dinner.
