We stayed at a hotel last night in Afyon - we paid the most I've ever paid in Turkey - but after a whole summer in Kusadasi - I really wanted it. I love Kusdasi, I love our summer home, I’m glad Babanne and Dede are there, I’m happy to have visitors and relatives - but I also want to escape - soemewhere new, just us.
NG is a fancy thermal hotel 6 hours from Kusadasi - 6 hours is about the maximum the kids can take before starting to go stir crazy. They did really well, actually - but we hardly stopped and it was torture for all of us.
The thermal hotel has hot pools, warm pools, indoor, outdoor, kids pools, waterslides indoor and outdoor. They serve tea, dinner, and breakfast - it's a fast paced reprieve from the road.
It's also exhausting fun.
Our car ride home I was sure the kids would be unconscious - but they were overtired and excited to get to Ankara. It was 3 1/2 more hours and we stopped at the hospital on the way home. Tomris had been having trouble eating the last couple of days saying that her mouth/throat was hurting. I could see red dots on her throat - but she had been reluctant to even open her mouth.
They tested her for strep - the tests came back negative, so it was determined to be viral.
Tomorrow work begins.
