Pumukkale - Mother nature's pedicure

Pumukkale is an amazing geological wonder! It is cascading white rock down a very steep large hillside. In most of these pools there is blue water. That is not all though, there are great ruins surrounding it from roman times because the Romans believed the pools had healing qualities. There was also a great ampitheater.
What I thought was the coolest part was that you actually get to walk in your bare feet up the hillside. It is just so cool to be able to walk on this rippled white rock and feel the cool water flowing over your feet. It felt so good on our travel worn feet. Some people swam in the pools and even covered themselves with the special mud, we didn't know you could. There were a ton of Russians there in skimpy bathing suits.
We also stayed in a very nice family run hotel. Travel agents in istanbul told us it would be hard to get from Pumukkale to Cappodica would be difficult. Micah got us tickets for a nice bus company but when we got to the bus station they did the bait and switch on us and gave us a lesser company. Needless to say it was a very long bus ride but we got to talk to some very nice regular Turkish people. At one point I had to go to the bathroom so bad and micah had to ask some Turkish people that lived in London and were home for a visit if they could ask the driver to stop the bus (it had three hours). It took the husband asking and the wife demanding that the driver stop for him to stop. Turns out lots of people had to go to the bathroom!
But we were dropped off basically at a gas station in the main town in Cappodica (region of central turkey).
