Pottery then the Mediterranean
We started Monday by visiting a pottery manufacturer. Once again, we were determined to buy nothing. Uh-huh! This facility was very impressive. After getting a demonstration on how a teapot is created on the potter's wheel, we watched a plate being made and painted.
We then got on the bus for a long ride to Antalya on the Mediterranean coast. The route took us over the Tauros Mountains, above 6000 feet. The temperature was noticeably colder and we could see snow on the mountain tops. When we finally arrived in Antalya, the weather was very tropical, mild with a slight breeze swaying the palm trees. Surprisingly, we had a hail storm that night.
