Welcome to Dale and Michael's travel blog

It has been many months in the planning and with a few major hiccups we are on our way to the other side of the world again.

Ephesus today

We started to day today watching a beautiful sunrise in the west!  We look out over a harbour at several very large cruise ships that come to Kusadasi just to visit the magnificent ruins of Ephesus.
The Library of Celcus at Epheses
After breakfast we headed off to see the ruins of Ephesus which was the capital of the Roman Empire in the Asian Province.  Its buildings can be dated from 1100BC to 1100AD.  The highlight was the HUGE library of Celcus and the amphitheatre with seating for 26,000 people.
