Bodrum Princess Deluxe Resort & Spa

... to say we haven&#8217;t required the use of a laxative since we arrived on Kos!<br><br>On arrival at the wonderful Kos Marina (if Carlsberg made marinas then they would probably be like this) we were met by the pilot boatman who escorted us to our berth, assisted us to tie up and greeted us like old friends. Then, to cap it all, we discovered that they are still charging the same price (20 euros) that they were in 2007 when we first sailed in here &#8211; remarkable.

... Etablissement in andere starrt; unbrauchbares Inventar wurde am Straßenrand abgestellt und niemand räumt es fort. Genausowenig wie die unzähligen Plastikflaschen und anderer Zivilisationsmüll, der weit über die Insel verteilt ist. Oder die unzähligen Autowracks, die überall abgestellt wurden. Nichts photographierendswertes...<br><br>Es gibt auch schöne Ecken auf der Insel, aber zu wenige für die Massen an Touristen. Auch wenn die meisten fast ausschließlich in ...

... durch das lose Geröll den Fußmarsch lohnen? Ich werde es heute nicht erfahren, sondern genieße auf halbem Wege, den fast Menschenleeren Strand mit kristallklarem Wasser ohne Seegrashaufen. Es gibt zwar keinen Sand, sondern mit Kieseln durchsetztes dunkelgraues Granulat, aber darauf liegt es sich genauso gut.<br>Das Wasser ist angenehm temperiert und es gibt keine kostenpflichtigen Schirme und Sonnenliegen.<br><br>

... Hippokratischen Platane entfernt, die nur noch ein hohler Stumpf ihrer selbst ist.<br>Günstige Preise, leckere Gerichte mit originaler Musik, der Mythos, ein einheimisches Bier wird frisch gezapt und eiskalt serviert - was will man mehr?<br>Hollandse Friten, oder gar den globalisierten Einheitsburger der goldenen Bögen, die voller Gäste in Rufweite liegen?<br><br><br><br>

... I had a real delight. The market was cleared of the congestion of the pazar, and before heading for Bodrum I walked straight up the street from my hotel--only maybe a quarter of a mile--and there took delight in a structure called the Gemuþkessen. Gemuþ (hard g, ge-MUSH) is Turkish for silver. As I'm writing I don't have my resources for kessen. But, it's a tomb. It might be the most complete 1st century Roman structure. I don't know. But I ...

... in the country there are hundreds of kinds of bread...always fresh and always great. And boy..they sure know how to do carbs! Breakfast is always bread and cheese and olives and honey and wonderful sour cherry jams! Doner kebab (chýcken and lamb) is pretty much always on a half loaf of bread or a bun or dürüm (like a flour torilla)...and pide is everywhere! Ulike SE Asia and C America...This will surely be one of the only trips where we gain weight!

... by the area that has the movie theater to get a time to go to the movies tomorrow. Supposedly it is a mall, but it doesn't bear much resemblance to the ones at home. They did have a store that is similar to Claires and Kate bought some things for her hair. Josh bought her a little stuffed bunny for her birthday. Another random observation: All the little islands around here have a single Turkish flag flying at the top. We wonder if this is to deter the Greeks from moving back in.

... Olive orchards, white and pink oleanders reaching down to golden beaches... Romantic fishing harbors... Friendly, fun loving folk of small villages... Ancient temples and theaters. Here, you can let your sails swell to the same winds that bore Agamemnon's fleet across the Aegean, and study from your deck the beautiful coastline to see 30 centuries of song, myth and history come alive. Here, you can windsurf, swim, fish, or snorkel to appreciate the marvelous ...

... it is cool here at night). Thankfully that was all I had to gather. Natural acoustics did me the favour of providing tonal entertainments: I have never seen this before but the noise from the street was louder in my room than it was on the street. I checked. It wasn't bad by any means because I have earplugs - but I truly have never seen that before. Sometimes I think I have seen everything but then I wake up and live another day. *allusion to a flippant remark in my amended first entry.
