... going back and no-one telling me til the next morning over breakfast!)... When the boat departed from Koycegiz I was the only person on it - aside from the driver/captain and his mother (who was also the cook; the waitress and a better skilled sailor/navigator than her son who on the way back, slept at the back of the boat while she steered!!). I was on my own for an hour as we sailed out ...

I was really overdue my holidays, finally getting to take it in October and I just signed up to two weeks of not doing much in Turkey with a couple of friends in a group. For me though not doing much isn't my cup of tea so I took every chance to re-live my old Turkey memories, from food, sights, sea, dancing and ahem, yes the men, again :)

Please come back soon as I update all the stories from the two weeks. Thanks.

... of the world is explored, and that some areas can retain a look and feel unique in the world.

For me some of the best places are areas that retain a pleasant and unique environment, whilst subtly presenting me with the things that allow me to be more comfortable. Simply presenting me with an English menu describing the local cuisine would be a good example - not one filled with pictures of overly sweet iced-cream desserts.

... circumstance, outcome and all -- did not match my vision for how it “should” be.

[ “Suffering?”, said the Buddhist teacher, “Must be attached . . .” ]

I know the rhetoric. I know that I attract to my experience whatever is the subject of my attention, and therefore focusing on the negative, the complaint, and the lack, not only that it doesn’t bring forth the desired outcome, it actually brings more of the ...

... around. I got to go in first while Chris and Damien watched, but the guard was too alert for any subterfuge. It wasn't really a problem, as the baths were also a giant waste of money. I barely noticed the warm water, so busy was I dodging swirls of green goo and flaccid pink Germans. We wandered around the ancient ruins and in the early afternoon made our way to the Marmaris peninsula on the south coast.

At Troy there is a big horse that you can walk up and lean your head out for photos. I did that, of course, like all tourists... Photos with the horse took probably 10-15 minutes of our 1 hour tour...as one expects with a group of roughly 20. Fez gave us a tour guide, but we had to pay our own ...

4th Day - SAILING TO BODRUM or ALIKARNASOS

Our ship -MARIA- leaves the port at 9.15 sharp.
We are sailing for 50 minutes before reaching the port. The sea is calm today and the trip is enjoyable.

The funny thing was that we were told that the trip to Bodrum costs 25 euro a person -two way ticket- , but we got ours for just 39 euro.
The best way is to go directly to the ship and ask for the cost instead of booking through ...

... renewal trip to the Greek island of Megisti (or in Turkish, Meis), off the coast of Kas, east of here, and which was related in the previous blog entry. Since I want to relate about the hike I took the following day, I'll make this entry look like I'm posting from Kas rather than Fethiye.

And, I didn't get to Kas by flying from Konya! I went from Konya to Ankara; then to Antalya, Olympos and Kas. Now there is no way--never mind an onerous way-- to document this journeying ...

Tuesday........June? (Nic updating) Many emotions have passed through our mind since we have arrived. Ęts been tough. The last couple of days have passed with us feeling increasingly relaxed and regenerated. Ęt was with this rejuvination that we have found our strength again. Patrick suggested...wisely....that i 'miss i can't read' pick up a travel book and read the wise encouraging words of a fellow traveller. As Ę buried my head in the pages of 'A Land of Two ...
