... booze stash but the guy wanted 500 euro for it. anyhow, the weather was great, we did some swimming, hanging out and a lot of just lazing about and doing nothing on the deck. we also were able to sleep outside on the deck underneath the stars (which sounded better than it was, because it got windy at night sometimes). one night we went to this boat access only beach bar where the only ...

... is filled with several delightful surprises. You will follow your guide into caves, traverse in between rocks and jump into the clearest blue waters for a swim.

If you have a mask and snorkel don’t forget to take these with you. You can enjoy snorkelling the crystal clear waters during our breaks from paddling. After visiting several small caves on our way we will take a break on a tiny sandy beach wedged in between amazing rock structures overlooking the Ceneviz bay ...

... My genes have cursed me with a patchy and erratic scraggle (especially below the jaw line) leaving me with sections of a length where I will need more then a normal razor to trim it back before any serious maintenance can be done.

In my head I always imagine it changes the way people percieve me (I have always tried to be aware of my first impressions, perhaps a habit from my childhood), and I ...

... and delirious with sleep I finally dragged myself back to my bed, rolled with the waves and hoped for the best. Seems our captain thought it would be best to get the only rough bit of the journey out of the way on the first night but he might have said at least!
The next four days floated by beautifully with our days being taken up with having lovely meals served up family style with us all around the big table, lounging around for a few hours before ...

... noticing increased vigor and sharpness of mind, but not sure that I can attribute it only to the sun gazing practice, as these days I’m also engaging in urine therapy, steady yoga and meditation practices, and swimming at least once a day.
By the way, a few mornings ago, right after the sun gazing, I witnessed the marking of a new turtle nest. It was very special event.


After the solar gazing practice I either swim, meditate or walk barefoot along ...

... catch as many small trout as you like for Two or Three Euro. This proved to be a major draw card for , you guessed it, the Russians. They had a ball, with the women seemingly out fishing the men. Fiona says this is true the world over. Trout as a dish is quite bland and not a touch on Salmon or real sea fish but it was very good value ...

... we spent our time in Olympos doing. Few ventured down the beach as there were spectacular storms for the duration of our stay. We snuggled down in blankets and whiled the time away. We were extremely glad that we had beds and shelter because the storms were shaking the foundations of our huts, so tents would have been scary! Nevertheless, I have grown to enjoy listening to the rain from the safe, dry inside of my ...

... the time of Christ was taken over by the Romans. It was a truly great place to explore. You paid your 3 Lira and then you were free to jump, clime, photograph, or just sit in awe. This is the city whose priceless carvings, tombs and statues were stolen by the British. The large temple showcased in the British Museum was taken stone by stone from this site. Several places had plaster "recreations" of items that were stolen. It is clear to ...
