2013 Big Adventure
Kusadasi - P.51
The walkway was raised and in some places the floor was plexiglass. We could see this brilliantly-colored painting of a bird on the wall but we couldn't get a photo of it no matter what we did. You can still see the colors. |
We got to one point and the best mosaic was far under the plexiglass. This was the best shot we could get so, we improvised. |
Bill held on to me and I leaned WAY over, holding the camera out as far as I could and took a picture. Bill was VERY nervous, I think more for the camera than for me! |
We got an awesome picture! This is a mosaic of Nereid (a sea goddess) riding a hippocamp and Neptune. |
Just past the Neptune mosaic, the walkway ended and we could just take overview photos of the other houses. |
They were very cool and were fairly reconstructed. |
Looking down an ancient Ephesus street from the top of the Terrace Houses. |
To get down you have to walk down a steep staircase. We saw someone fall! |
We met our tour group at the bottom by Hadrian's Gate. |
We headed toward the Celus Library. |
