Turkish Bath or Haman is a must do thing when in Turkey. Dressed only in shirts and a bikini top for the ladies and just a towel for the men, we are taken to a large marble room. It's hot! The idea is that you lay on these heated marble slabs for 40 minutes to release all the toxins from your body. The slabs are so hot it's difficult to lay on them. After 40 minutes we go into a room with the masseuse . For the next 20 minutes we are scrub completely , covered in a soap lather, massaged and then doused with cold water, even your hair gets washed. Once this is over we are then wrapped in warm dry towels and sit in another room to dry off. It's a great experience and your skin is left feeling soft and refreshed.
After the baths our intention is to find a bar for a drink and then some dinner. Unfortunately we headed off in the wrong direction and before we knew it we were lost! We eventually found our way to the tram line and so were able to catch it back to our hotel . The beer was welcome as was dinner and the chance to have a rest from walking.
