Slowly, then silence in the beginning of chaos. Yes, everything is hard .. or as they say?
If you want to us from the city, you can go by bus or by ferry. The ferry is naturally beautiful, just from our pier, but then only at very limited times.
So we walk down the promenade, past the incredible number of pharmacies and get into the No. 8 bus. Today we will look at some of the city.
Seed's Tower: Clock Tower in Konak Square
We start again at the Konak Pier with a cappuccino at the water
and then walk over to the Clock Tower (Saat's Tower) on the Konakplatz.
The emblem of Izmir!
The Clock was actually a gift from Emperor Wilhelm II,
to strengthen the German influence at that time.
The square is teeming with birds, kids have their fun
and old women sell feed grains for.
Small Konak Mosque
Next door is the small Konak Mosque,
which seems really tiny in this environment.
She is very nice decorated with Kütahya tiles.
From here you can comfortably stroll further into the interior of the city,
for here begins the same Kemeralti - the market area!
Small, colorful, old houses lining the street - each a different store, it is Proppe crowded and noisy.
The further one is pure, the more confusing it is because you are in noisy roads, loses all the lure of interesting shops and cafes playful.
The market district - Kemeralti
The weather is still warm and sunny. Is made from walking it back to our apartment.
Tonight we are invited back to Aunt Fatma to eat. A good breakfast greets us. I find particularly tasty, as it turns the salad. She takes as a dressing: lemon juice, pomegranate syrup and olive oil! Mmmmmh delicious!
Today at breakfast bell rang. The heavily pregnant niece of the owner, who wanted to see what I have to object to in the apartment.
There are a lot of furniture in the apartment, crying for repair or garbage.
Chairs are indeed - more than enough - in the apartment about 15 pieces. But believe me, because no one wants to put up more!
I do not know what anything was spilled on the seat cushions, or how often they were probably used with dirty shoes, as the head. Apart from the fact that the fabric is torn here and there.
The two plastic chairs on the balcony have seen better times. Today people are afraid to top it off, because they could collapse at any moment.
The coffee table was backed with carpet glue and threatening at the slightest exposure to fold in on itself. But enough of that ... these are just a few minor shortcomings of the list.
The previous tenant must have been a bum. read this post »
