2005

In 2005, I did my regular trips to Eastern and Southern Europe. I made my first trip to Israel. The only places a stayed long enough to take some pictures were Athens (where Gerdien joined me) and Turkey, where I visited Bodrum and Efes.

Athens

It has been a long time since I visited Athens as a tourist, so I decided to come on Friday with Gerdien instead of on Monday for the meeting.

Bodrum and Efes

My hotel was in Bodrum, but I took local busses to visit the biblical city of Efes, with it’s beautiful archeological site.
