Mount Nemrut Climb

---

This was one of the highlights of our trip, a chance to step back in time and witness the last monument of an absolute monarch from centuries ago (the links below give the full history of the statues and how they got to the summit of the mountain).

We had to set off about 4am to ensure we got up to the summit, and it was worth it - sunrise was awesome, with the sun rising on one side of the mountain, while a storm gathered on the other side - we came down the mountain in driving rain, which made the cup of turkish tea (at the obligatory gift shop) all the more welcome.

It was all worth the 2 days on a bus to get there!
