Despite Whiplash, Bunnies and 2 Real Bitches

Despite whiplash, bunnies and 2 real *****es we are again back on Tiercel and in the Aegean Sea. This is an opportunity for a 4 week break to work on the boat and enjoy some sailing. However, it is possibly worth a brief look back at our last few weeks in Scotland to set the scene for our journey.

Our trip here started in a wet, cold and windy Tarbert. We travelled to a wetter, colder and windier Dunfermline to leave our car with our son Will. Shortly ...

Ausge-Kos-tet - ein Fazit

Perser, Hellenen, Osmanen, Italiener und auch Deutsche - die Insel hat viele Herrscher und Besatzer gesehen und sieht sie noch: die Massentouristen.
Die Zeugnisse der vergangenen Perioden liegen zumeist in Trümmern, zum Teil verdeckt, zum Teil wieder ausgegraben - der Massentourismus hält noch an, und doch findet man sie überall: die Ruinen von "Burger Inn"s von Pubs, Restaurants und Souvenirshops. Zum Teil findet man ganze Straßenzüge, in denen ein ...

Mit dem Rad ans Ende der Welt

Strahlender Sonnenschein - wie gewöhnlich und eine sanfte Brise.
Mit dem Leihrad geht es die Küste entlang. Immer weiter, bis das Ende der Welt, genauer: der Straße erreicht ist.
Hier gibt es leider nur sehr wenige Schattenplätze an einer Imbißbude mit knatterndem Generator. Kein heimeliges Plätzchen, um die Aussicht zu genießen.
Weiter an der Küste entlang ginge es nur zu Fuß, am Hang entlang. Ob die Ödnis, die ...

Von Küste zu Küste gerollt

... neben den Tischen aus, warten, was wohl zu Boden fallen möge. Oft lohnt sich das Warten - die Fischflossen, die ich nicht verzehren mochte werden von einer rotgetigerten gierig verschlungen und lockt die hungrige Konkurrenz herbei. Bis ein streunender Dackel herbeistolziert kommt und jede Katze, die er entdeckt verscheucht - der Platzwart. Zu Fressen kriegt er nix.

Kaffeefahrt in den Orient

... warum das Ehepaar neben mir denn nur 20 Euro zahlen müsse lautet die Antwort: "Special Price", denn sie wären von Ihr** Reisegruppe - das Ehepaar spricht all**dings Deutsch und von ein** Reisegruppe wissen sie nichts;-)
Am Ticketschalt** bezahlt man dann nochmals Passkontrollsteu**. Auf dem Beleg steht 3 Euro, v**langt w**den 4,20 Euro, mangels Kleingeld w**den es 4 Euro - int**essante Rechnung.
Muß man Bodrum gesehen haben? Die Festung ...

Downtown Bodrum, Turkey

... kebab meat layered, speared and roasted. Turkish Kebab and Turkish Pizza was amazing! Not to forget the Turkish red wine!
But nothing could beat the experience of a boat ride around the Turkish coastline.
A small group - us - paid the crew of a nice boat to take us out for a day. The water was amazingly blue, clean and the bottom of the ocean seemed so close. We threw anchor. While we jumped into the big blue, the crew brought out fishing gear, caught ...

The Day the Music Died

... if we would help him repair his boat for the rest of the day. we were not into manual labor, and politely declined, but now we kind of regret it. We walked around and saw all of the beautiful shops and strolled along the beach. For dinner we went back to Gümbel Bay and had 1 Lira Döner Kebabs. İn case you are curious, 1 Lira is approximately .60 cents and a Döner Kebab is a giant sandwich similar to a Gyro. Looks like we can eat in Turkey!

That night we decided to ...

Kos: the home of medicine

... fine by me! Next entry -> Rhodos Town Just so you know... If you were wondering, 'Dodecanese' refers to 12 of the 18 islands in the group that were given special privileges after submitting to the Ottoman Turks back in the 15th century. Old names die hard... Thanks to Lonely Planet for many of the facts and figures in this entry.
