6. Ankara

We wanted to stop in Ankara for really only a few reasons: to split up the drive back to Istanbul and to visit the Museum of Anatolian Civilizations which covered the Bronze Age up to about the year zero. Very fascinating stuff, and it neatly tied up our adventures elsewhere. Ankara was a pleasant surprise; neither of us expected much but it had some really nice old Ottoman architecture and our hotel was the cheapest either of us have stayed in anywhere in the world. $6 a night!
