... few days playing cards with our fellow guests - Paul, Sally, Sam and Eleanor - hi guys and hope he rest of your trip was less strenous than that climb to Ephesus!<br><br>The weather was truly toasty which made the fact that the sea was icy a rather unexpected surprise. We'd taken a boat trip to explore some of the small islands lying off the coast and at the first swim stop we were itching to cool off in the beautifully clear blue waters - and ...

... time conquering the previous inhabitants. Hot. Did I mention that? Hot. Walked back through town, but every shop was closed for siesta.<br><br> <br><br>

... executing all the adult males. Though the edit was voted down before any action was taken, the idea of Lesvos with only female inhabitants was born -- hence the term "lesbian".<br><br>This was a charming Greek island with a rich history. Lesvos was considered the very center of Greek culture and society. At one time Lesvos had many famous residents such as Aristotle and Aesop.<br>

Having heard Greek singing from the tavernas in Khios we reckon that it is to blame for the glut of cats everywhere and the lack of fish in ...

... regular car ferry across to Canakkale on the opposite side, which was our next destination, but this was a much easier and cheaper ferry to take than the main one up the road at Eceabat, and it made the crossing in half the time. We had originally thought to stay in Canakkale that night, but the day had been so easy that we arrived at the wharf on the Asian side at 3.30pm. A quick discussion and we decided to miss seeing Troy and head down to ...

... the bus driver in her best Turkish to pull over at a restroom (although the side of the road would've done, too), and the waiter by his side assured her in pantomime that we would be pulling over soon enough. But fifteen minutes passed, and no rest stop was in the offing. So Cori got up once again and charaded to the waiter the universal sign for vomit. Obligingly, he pulled out a plastic bag and offered it up to her! No, that won't do at all, Cori thought, and what is the ...

... a good sense of the place. From the standing columns we gazed out over the brown hills. Groves of orange and olive trees patched the countryside, and I felt the sensation that perhaps not n\much had changed since those biblical times. In a slight depression towards the South stood a lone column, rebuilt with patches of concrete and other column fragments. Beyond that another 2kn was the ruins of the Greek city Ephesus. Reading in the book that we purchased there ...
