We both put on our very best clothes and along with all the others headed for the bus to také us to the Ciragan Palace where a red carpet took us upstairs to the most luxourious place ive ever seen. It was refurbished in 1874 and now operates as a hotel.
Students had dressed up in a variety of Ottoman costumes and mingled among the 700 conference delegates. The chandaliers hanging from the ceiling were bigger than our dinninng room table
Once again food was everywhere. But the entertainment was spectacular. Colourful folk dancers mixed with a modern orcherester and belly dancers. A tea seller mingled withthe crowd with his pot on his back filled with cherry juice. Dont know what his pot is calledm however no spoondancers were to be soon
For me the highlight were the whirling dirvish dancers. They wore camel felt hats and long while dressess which they keept swirling like a top. They didnt get dizzy. Ive some small video so when im able ill get them to you.
We danced to the music for a while then home to bed round 11pm
