Our
hotel is very impressive

mansion, there are 3 rooms per
floor, each with their own
bathroom and are completely

I have stayed at in my time.

being angered at some

and my many reflections.

When
we came to Turkey, we
spent 1 night in Istanbul before
traveling to the coastal city
of Bodrum. It was 2 weeks before
we returned to Istanbul.
Here is the Artemis hotel, our
lodging for our 1st night. |
