A Pass Through Antalya
Hey, Lonely Planet, how about instead of "you can take the same bus back to the bus station, bu take a taxi if you're in a rush," you tell me "you can take the same bus back to the station, but because the route is a loop, what took 30 minutes going into the city will take you an hour coming back out." I mean, I budgeted extra time, but not that much, and I caught my bus with about four minutes to spare.

Speaking of which, this is my first overnight bus of the trip; approximately a week and a half in. Hopefully, my inabiliy to stay awake on buses (and trains, for that matter), will work out in my favor.

I guess it's a Turkish thing to sit with a wide stance and invade personal space, but I'm trying to maintain the high from my first hamam experience (I am going to try to skip meals so I can bathe exclusively at hamams), so I'll try to not sweat it.

The oil massage was probably the most action I'll see these for weeks.

Addendum: he just changed to an empty row. Based on his tone of voice and facial expression, I think he said something along the lines of "let me move over there; no sense being crowded!"
