Day 6-
When John was exiled to the Isle of Patmos he saw and wrote the Book of Revelation which is addressed to Seven Churches of the Roman province Asia- one of which was Sardis. Here we saw another Temple of Artemis in ruins, along with a market place, Roman bath, gymnasium complex, and toilets :)
Today was a LOOONG bus ride as we had to start making our way back to the top of Turkey in order to fly back to Israel the next day. But we stopped in a major Turkish city named Bursa. We were given free time in the bazaar in Bursa but it was quite different from the bazaar experience we had in Istanbul. The Grand Bazaar in Istanbul is very touristy while the Bursa bazaar has few tourist and is for the locals. So we had fun since very few people spoke a word of english! That is always a fun part of traveling :)
