walking up to the mountains from Menemen,izmir...spil mountain in manisa,1

when someone start travelling,he never stop thinking about the next trip....

i took my backpack and went to izmir in late days of january...i drew a plan on my mind and i had a aim to explore somewhere new...i didn't go the city center,i directly took the tram and got off at the last station.
i walked many hours and passed many villages,met many sheepers...i was so sure that i could arrive the place that i wanted to see...it was a farm house who accepted volunteers...i just saw their address and decided to meet them.i kept walking and i was going to be dark soon.then i called them for the first time and the guy on the farm was surprised because i didn't get in touch before,(it was silly ,yes)and i told him that i was walking for many hours and described the environment.he told me that ''you have to take the first car if any passes,there is so much way untill here,you cannot walk all the way!''but the problem was nobody passed until that time...after half an hour a truck stopped and took me but just to the his village...it was almost the half way...when we arrived his village,i entered a tea house to drink tea and it was so strange for everybody there...funny also...i girl with a big backpack...in this small and far village...
anyway,while i was waiting just to get warm again,someone came in and he told he was going to the other village on my way...it was great for me and i jumped back of his truck :)))after an hour time to walk again...
finally i found the house on the top of the mountain,seeing the great view of Spil mountain in manisa,the great lake,and Dumanlı mountain...there were horses enloying the nature freely,nobody had them...i couldn't stop watching that amazing view!

i will go on soon...

ancient cities...

i wrote about my guest,marco,before and now i'm going to tell you our next trip to an ancient city in Ordu.

it was a nice and sunny day in january and we were on the way to the mountains again...we took the bus to the villages close to the top.it was funny and interesting for because in the bus everyone knew each other and they were talking so loudly and everybody stopped talking when we started to talk...

after the villages,we started hiking...the view was amazing!we enjoyed the time very much and we didn't realize that we arrived there...

there was a security guy in a small cabbin and we told him that we wanted to see around...at first he didn't want to let us,he started to complain about something,....and then we made him let us...

when we entred, i was shocked because the archaeologist and his team did just a little job..they really didn't work so much but they had been working on that place for five years!i asked the guy there  and learnt that they just worked for a month...so this was the explanation of being so slow...this really made me sad...i hoped that they would work long...they were planing to work 20 years more and it will be finished in 2028-2030...this is crazy i think...now they don't have enough information about that place because they couldn't find any human bones or home materials...all the staff are under the ground and they are still waiting...

there are some stairs down in the ground.its door was closed but we jumped into secretly to see how far they were going...and it was really amazing...there were 450 stairs opened and after the stairs finished there was a huge,large space and darkness...it was like a tunnel,you go down in a tunnel and after 450 stairs it is a big hole...it was difficult for us to see around because there was no light and we tried to see with our mobile phones light...it was really scary but amazing!when were going down it was getting warmer and warmer...and we were going back to up,it was getting colder again...

until now,they have worked for opening the stairs down in the ground...as we learnt there full of mud and soil,and they couln't go further yet...i really wonder where that stairs finish and what  there is...i hope it finishes sooner and everybody can learn the past...

it was really interesting day for me and marco...we walked,talked,wondered,asked,thought to much...we enjoyed the sunset and hitchhiked on the way back home...it was another funny story but i wont tell all the parts just....a man took us and i didn't talk any because marco introduced me as his colombian friend...he tried to communicate with the driver and i just smiled all the way...
