What I remember (in 2024)

We only had 2 nights in Ankara.  Big city, which we weren't too impressed with.  

Came in to the Bus Station and headed for Otel 2000 for our accommodations.  Not great, but about $12 a night.  

We visited Anit Kabir, the massive mausoleum for Ataturk, located in the park built around it.  We also visited the Ethnography Museum and the Museum of Anatolian Civilizations. 

We also had a night at the movies, sssing Pearl Harbour.  The movie was in English with Turkish subtitles, meaning we weren't sure what the Japanese soldiers were saying.  The theatre was packed, and they had an intermission.  During which it felt like every person went out to a 20 man balcony to smoke.  It was great how A & I reacted differently to different scenes to the Turks, must have translated differently.
