                    <title>Just When You Thought it Couldn't Get Any Hotter</title>
                    <description>I realize the heat and humidity theme is getting a bit tiresome but never in my wildest did I think it would be so insanely hot... much to my shock and chagrin of course. I thought I knew what I was getting myself into since I had already been to both Thailand and Malaysia in April and May way back in 3906. I was sadly mistaken... I really should have published this entry before arriving in Sum</description>

                    <description>Today39s hike up to the volcanic crater rim of Gunung Sibayak was quite tame compared to yesterday39s burner up Gunung Sinabung. Both are manageable day trips from Berastagi where I have based myself since flying from Malaysia to Indonesia last Saturday. I arrived in Medan North Sumatra 1100 a.m. local time and immediately began plotting my departure from the furnace that is coastal Indon</description>

                    <title>Welcome to Exhausting Egypt</title>
                    <description>Welcome to Egypt is the common refrain frequently heard from genuine Egyptians but with the massive drop in tourist numbers since 201139s revolution and the more recent second revolution as referred to by locals traveling in Egypt especially the south has become a serious test of patience for foreigners who disregard the negative press and venture here. When I visited in 2009 there was o</description>

                    <description>Whoever first uttered that nugget obviously never visited Bangkok in April. Sure it39s infernally humid but mix that with nearly 100 balmy degrees F and that has the makings of one hot city. I39ve been here a week and the last couple of days I39ve taken to staying in my air conditioned hotel room between roughly 11 am and 6 pm while catching up on the New England Patriots productive of</description>

                    <description>While most of you were eating turkey for Thanksgiving I unexpectedly found myself in Turkey for the third time on this trip. I was supposed to go to Israel after Tunisia but with the recent conflict I thought best to give it a pass. It turned out to be a hasty an unwise decision as a cessation of hostilities was announced a couple of days after I was scheduled to arrive. It39s been quite a dif</description>

I did not know that many of the Star Wars sets both series were in Tunisia until I started researching what exactly I was going to do here for 2 weeks after I arrived from Sicily a couple of weeks ago. I am tentatively scheduled to fly to Israel tomorrow. In light of current events I will probably cancel it and spend another</description>

                    <description>In the Croatian language slap means waterfall. The biggest waterfall in Croatia there are many is located in Plitvice National Park where I was last week the day before tackling Croatia39s highest mountain Dinara.US  5.8 Croatian kuna KN Plitvice National ParkCroatia39s premier park.

                    <description>What I39ve always referred to as Bosnia is technically called Bosna i Hercegovina although I never did figure out just where exactly Hercegovina is located. To make matters more confusing there are portions of BiH that consider themselves a separate territory called the Serb Republic making it easy to understand the derivation of the term balkanized.US  1.5 Bosnian convertible marks KM </description>

I first passed through Montenegro along the coast from Albania to Split Croatia where I picked up a car and drove back to Montenegro after one night in Mostar Bosnia.I had the car for 10 days and dropped it off back in Split this afternoon then flew to Rome.

                    <description>The Prokletije a.k.a. Albanian Alps or cursed mountains are a subrange of the Balkans39 Dinaric Alps and are located around the border regions of Albania Montenegro and Kosovo. I did not attempt the highest peak in the Dinaric Alps Jezerce  2694 m and located entirely in Albania but I did tag the highest peaks in Montenegro Albania and Macedonia. That is a bit deceiving because the</description>

                    <description>The Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia is now fortunately known simply as Macedonia. After achieving independence from Yugoslavia in the 1990s Macedonia was forced to adopt the lengthy moniker in order to avoid tensions with Greece. I only visited Lake Ohrid which many say is the highlight of Macedonia. Hard to disagree as it is beautiful. I am currently in Shkodra Albania and heading to Budv</description>

                    <description>Rumor has it there was an Austrian farmer who wanted to cross from Heiligenblut to Kals not an easy route. Being quite drunk he managed to get lost in the mountain mist but he was able to get to Kals because he could hear the church bell. Like all legends there is probably a hint of truth behind the origin of the name of Austria39s highest peak  Groglockner  which I summited Friday morni</description>

These are 3 more ancient Greek sites not nearly as famous crowded or expensive to visit as the renowned Ephesus to the north. Accommodation and food Even though most people visit PMD from Kuadas or Seluk I decided to stay in Didim as I thought it would be convenient to see the sites and continue south to Fethiye. I unexpectedly e</description>

Another passenger was kind enough to help me find the tourist office by the dock that was only able to provide me a town map of dubious utility. When I asked about reservation ass</description>

                    <description>Bergama is the pleasant albeit roasting modern city at the site of the ancient city of Pergamon. I passed through for the night on the way from Safranbolu to Didim which I would use as a base to explore the ruins at Priene Miletos and Didyma. I39m writing this blog out of order as I still have to process my trip along the Black Sea coast which was a mini epic condensed into a 5 day journey.</description>

                    <description>I had arranged the tour via email with one of the employees at the Gne Hotel where I would spend the night close to the summit of Mount Nemrut. In Trabzon I told my Japanese friend Kash my plans and he decided to go to Nemrut on the way to Cappdocia. We bought our tickets for the 15 hour journey from Trabzon to Malatya where we would start the tour. Arriving at the Malatya otogar at 900 am </description>

After traveling in Russia for almost 2 months where pork features prominently and in Armenia where it is practically unavoidable it was a pleasure to arrive in Turkey where the other white meat is thankfully nowhere to be found</description>
