Oi Vei Izmir!

As this day comes to an end, we reflect on today's events:
1. A two hour bus ride from Bergama.
2. A long bus drive from the Otogar to the middle of town.
3. The bus broke down on the highway. 34 degrees.
4. Cigarette break for all.
5. Getting off at a university? Oops.
6. Figuring out a misunderstanding.
7. Getting on another bus to the middle of town (45 minutes...)
8. Budget hotels in Izmir are seedy. Haven't been cleaned since 1987.
9. Dinner at the most expensive restaurant we could find to ease our pain. It worked.

We are off to better places...
