Denizli, Pamukkale, and Bodrum

I went to Denizli to see a friend for the weekend. The city is famous for its roosters. The roosters are famous because they crow for maybe 20 seconds without stopping and sometimes pass out.
The city is also famous for Pamukkale, a touristic location with beautiful natural hot springs and pools.We spent a lot of time together but often had to deal with my friend's young niece, who apart from being totally adorable, always wanted to come along on our walks. We were not allowed to stay out late and as time passed in Denizli, we came to realize that what we really wanted was to be somewhere where no one would bother us and we could swim. So we took a bus to Bodrum.
I won't tell you exactly where we are, because like I say, we don't want to be bothered! But really, it's wonderful here. I will return to normal life in İstanbul in a couple days, but for now it will be a little more fun in the sun and mixed in with bouts of pure serenity.
