MARMARIS TO AYVALIK
May 9th.
Left Marmaris mid morning and motored out along the peninsula before turning north to Pedi bay at Symi to stock up on essential Greek supplies. Red wine and pork chops. Spent the night at Pedi with only 8 boats in the bay. Three were NZ boats, 3 Australian (1 an ex NZ boat, Kiwi Spirit), 1 Dutch and 1 German. Can't get away from Anzacs in this part of ...

Ruins, ruins, all these ruins
... the road because we could see Akropol sitting majestically on top of the hill when we got to Askelpion. We saw some more ancient ruins and an interesting area where they attended to the sick. After leaving Bergama we headed to Kuşadasi for the night (passed through Izmir). We ate some dinner and then Alexis and I went up to the rooftop and took some pictures of the beach/sea at night. Later that night we went to Murphy's, a karaoke bar and had lots of ...
