Day 5: Ephesus region via Adatepe and Bergama

It's mainly a driving day, and on the way we have to pause for some sheep in the road.
We stop for lunch in a little village called Adatepe.
We stroll about the village. Here's Wade in his new travel pants.

A shot back over the village.
An old olive press, and an amphora for storing olive oil.
We sat down to a lunch of gozleme, sort of Turkish quesadilla, with olives and Turkish tea.
There were various fowl running about.
This is a fighting rooster.
Driving on to Bergama to see a demonstration of making parchment.
The hides are soaked in lime, and then the hair is scraped off against this stump.
It is then stretched out and dried slowly in the shade.
Wade takes a turn doing the scraping.

We take occasional bathroom breaks on the road, like at these large petrol stations.
