TURKEY DAY FOUR

the fourth day we started our 400 kilometres bus ride back to mukarnas. the first stop we made was at a turkish carpet factory.

it's really amazing how girls my age (and younger!) make these beautiful carpets with their own two hands.

they even coloured their own wool with local colour ingredients. inspiring!

and they made their own silk from silk cocoons. 

then we were guided upstairs, and it was carpets everywhere. on the floor, on the walls and it wouldn't surprise me if they had some hanging on the roof aswell. haha.

so many gorgeous carpets!

we got to see a little bunch of carpets (they had over 30000 carpets at the factory!), and many of them were so beautiful.

all those "paintings" on the walls are actually carpets in frames. 

the beautiful backyard. 

while waiting for our bus. 

the next stop was at a place in the middle of nowhere.

we were supposed to have lunch at this place, but the food was such a big disappointment that malin and i bought some cookies and chocolate bars instead. 

from the bus window. turkey is beautiful!

this is a neighbourhood in antalya where all the houses are built illegal! (except the blocks on the top of the hill)

then we stopped at a leather & fur factory where they had a "runway show" for us.

i can't say i enjoyed it though, because i don't like real fur. i felt bad for all the animals who had died for this huge factory. 

when we got back to the hotel we went downstairs to the basement of the hotel, where the "shopping center" was. i got a new bag which i adore.

then we relaxed on our beds until it was time for dinner again. 

more relaxing after dinner, haha. we were like an old married couple on vacation. really cozy, though.
