Labranda Ruins

Flintstone houses ⛰ufe0fud83cudfdaufe0fud83eudd20nnI don't know what was more astonishing... The once 4 lane mega highway that quickly funnels down into single lane bottleneck road paved in soap with massive 18-wheelers flying up the side of this twisty mountain pass or these ancient tombs from over 4,800 years ago just off the side of said suicide road ud83eudd14nnI'm not exaggerating when I say no less than three times we truly thought there would have been a massive accident with serious fatalities when multiple semi trucks met each other coming around these crazy sharp slippery corners driving like bats out of hell ud83dude9bud83dudca8ud83eudd87ud83dudd25ud83dudd25ud83dudd25ud83dudd25nnWe got here pretty late in the day and actually got to have an amazing sunset to enjoy while exploring these ruins. The guard who lives here 24/7 was very friendly but was not overly happy about giving us a very quick nickel tour before he was tossing us out on our ear since we were there after hours ud83dude02ud83eudd23ud83dude02 I completely understand. No one wants to work after hours doing overtime while their dinner is getting cold ud83eudd17ud83eudd37‍♂ufe0fud83dudcaannI was really impressed with these tombs carved out of massive boulders. Things like this simply astonish me because I have trouble comprehending just how much time energy and effort would have been needed to make something like this back in the day ud83eudd2fnnThere were some really great temples and an amphitheater here as well. Overlooking the valley with the sunset made this place extra special for sure ud83dudc4cud83dudc4cud83dudc4cnnI even got to have some mountain pup love! This doggy was super cool and very protective of this site. He had crazy gentle eyes though... Almost as if he knew all the secrets of the universe like a big furry Buddha... I miss this pup already ud83dude2dud83dudc36ud83cudf04ud83dudc3e
