  2. Oh for crying out loud..... You're going to go to Pamukkale???! Soooooo jealous! I've been wanting to go there for years! You HAVE to go see (and take pics, of course ;-) ) the calcified water falls. They are brilliant white, solid 'falls' where the deposits left as the water runs over have solidified over thousands of years. Beautiful.
