Divan Palmira Hotel Bodrum

... The following morning at the crack of 8 we left to sail the 30 miles to Kos. Richard helped us to get out of our berth but we still managed to get a rope round the rudder. However, this sorted itself out and, as we left Richard shouted &#8220;You&#8217;re on your own now&#8221; &#8211; cheeky sod. <br><br>The sail out of the spectacular entrance to Lakki Bay, through the tricky(ish) passage among the tiny Velona Isles was conducted with quite strong winds ...

... en Hotelbunkern um die Pools oder auf den zugehörigen Sonnenliegen am Strand herumliegen, so gibt es doch unzählige Auto- und Scooterverleiher, damit auch jeder von ihnen die Chance hat ein wenig Strandpendeln und einen hotelfremden Imbiß zu sich nehmen zu können. So sind Verkehrsemissionen fast allgegenwärtig und stehen in keinem Verhältnis zur Größe der Insel. Wie nachhaltig diese Aera der Besatzung wohl ist, vor allem, wenn "All Inclusive" noch ...

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

Für 10 Euro einen Scooter gemietet und schon geht es bei strahlendem Sonneschein von Küste zu Küste. Von Ost nach West und Norden nach Süden, über die Berge, an den Strand und vice versa.<br>Wie mag es auf der Insel wohl zur Hauptsaison aussehen?<br>Viel "Einheimisches" ist nicht mehr zu sehen, nur Freßbuden, Souvenirshops und endlose Reihen von Sonnenschirmen an Str ...

... 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;-)<br>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.<br>Muß man Bodrum gesehen haben? Die Festung ...

... I thought Bodrum would be the ideal spot for it, but the area has lost it's charm to boardshirts, Turkish Delight shops and hair salons. I had fun with those Turkish dudes, I certainly can't complain about the people of Turkey.. but coming from south gives me a completely different feel for the place compared with those who have come from the north. I guess I kind of miss the low key, mellowness of the M.E.

... ladies (he wore shoes - must have been thinking ahead) so I made the walk / stumble home and called it a night. Tuesday (Oct 09) Hmmmmm..... Tuesday..... lets see I only really got out of bed about 4 in the afternoon. I had one of the worst hangovers I think I have ever had (damn you Efes!). I managed to pull myself out of bed about 12 for a kebab, but they seem to taste so so much better when you are drunk rather than when you are hungover - but I suppose the guy smoking ...

... Today on Josh's Turkey Live, we have goofy Turkish TV commercials! We will visit the Cafe Crown Buzz (pronounced Boooz). There is a guy at a bar and a girl walks up. She looks hot. The boy likes the girl and he dives under the bar. He says something in Turkish and purrs, "Buzz!" He mixes up Cafe Crown for her and she again smiles and says, "Buzz!" Then he hits something, it flies up in the air, he puts a glass out on the ...

... ports, many tiny islands, secluded bays and coves, sunken, mysterious ruins wait to be discovered. The sea is strikingly crystalline turquoise and it is hard to resist diving in while watching different shoals of little fish swim deep beneath the boat. All the blue cruise gulets carry equipment for snorkeling if you wish to swim in search of fish or simply enjoy the natural and ancient beauty of the underwater. The opportunity to combine sun, sea ...

... of erotica in Paris. There was an animal connection. Four notice boards told of the facts, fables and legends of the birds, mammals, reptiles and insects of the castle. I only saw peafowl, domestic ducks and a bee though. All in all though the castle was well worth a visit with lots to see. By yet another sheer coincidence as I was on my way to the Masoleum, I met up yet again with Art, Jenny and Louida a bit later on. We had a couple of ...
