Diugulu Bodrum

... the long eared wee *******s leapt out in front of them, took off like an underground racehorse, causing the dogs to fly off like supercharged drag racers. Gina got wrapped round a tree, took a tumble,banged her head and got an unpleasant whiplash injury to her neck. You could hear the sound of, less than discreet, bunny laughter, for days afterwards.

A month or so prior to this Rob, for no apparent reason, other than possibly his own curiosity, fell 10 ...

... 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...

Es gibt auch schöne Ecken auf der Insel, aber zu wenige für die Massen an Touristen. Auch wenn die meisten fast ausschließlich in ...

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 ...

... 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.

... 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 ...

... stocked with beautiful brass artifacts. Right away I was invited into the store for a cup of hot apple tea, served in small glass cups. The Turkish people seemed so friendly and what a nice gesture! Hot apple tea was served in almost every store.
While walking I noticed large bunches of Saffron, hanging to dry from the balconies above the street - gorgeous red contrast to the pale chalky buildings.

Hunger crept up on me from smelling the ...

... me he hadn't and couldn't understand why none of the girls were interested - poor guy, he seemed really down about it. He invited me to go drinking again with this other Frenchie he met, but I was really not in the mood for more alcohol so politely declined. I went briefly to the bazaar (market) to find myself a new towel - I left my other one behind in Istanbul some time ago. I could only find one stall in the whole bazaar that sold towels so after picking which one I want I ...

... next one. The Little Turkcell workshop. Turkcell is a cellphone company. It's main thing is posting billboards with a lady and a child on her lap. The child looks shocked holding up 10 fingers and the mom hold ups 5 fingers and the print says 5 lira. The little kid is dressed in a bumble bee outfit with black pants, yellow shoes and antennae. In this one, it shows a weird annimated fantasy meadow with little bunnies (like ...

... year. Apart from that there is not really much to do around Bodrum except relax - at a cafe, on a boat, shopping or at a beach. So back to this reality I went, deciding that a sunset beer or two at Cafe Del Mar would do me nicely. Now I very much doubt it is an authorised franchise of the famous Ibizan sunset bar, but like the original they ...
