Dear Diary,
Our fifth day in Turkey was pack with activities from early
morning up until middle of the night. After a pit stop at Pasabag Valley for taking pictures, we went back to our hotel, refreshed ourselves, dined scrumptious buffet dinner then we gathered at the lobby for another activity.
Remember our lunch at an underground cave restaurant, Altinocak Restaurant.
That night after dinner, we went to the restaurant again. This time not for culinary experience but for cultural and folklore shows.
Light refreshments of mixed nuts, fresh fruits and Turkish
Delights were served to us. From the listed shows, I was looking forward to
watching Sufi whirling and belly dancing. Whirling dance was the first performance.
There were two male dancers. One of them looked very deep in trance. It seemed as if
he was hypnotized and was in another realm. It was surreal. For more in depth info, please click here.
Next, we enjoyed several upbeat traditional dances. The
performances were lively and pleasurable.
As the night grew longer, our eyes were droopier. We were up
from before dawn and we were dead tired! Furthermore, the kids started to act up. In
the middle of the show, all of us unanimously agreed to call it a day. We
longed for our beds and rests.
By going back early, we didn’t get to watch belly dancing
though. Lucky, I already watched it at Colossae Spa & Thermal Hotel in Pamukkale.
