Ekici Hotel Kas

We had a heck of a rainstorm last night in Olympos; but it didn't delay the plan to travel westward on the Med. So, here we are in Kas, a beautiful quiet sleepy town with a yacht basin filled with sailboats. <br><br>The hostel is Beautiful. I think the best I have ever stayed in. And the price isn't too bad, although it is the off season. This Might be It- the place I have been looking for. But, of course, it's too early to tell.<br><br>

... mean long hikes and this was no exception. We were perched on the hill above the beach and set out one day in search of a swim in the sea, 1 1/2 hours later down a long and winding road we reached the beach and cooled off, on the way back we chose the shorter path - what a mistake - it only took us 1/2 an hour but it was so steep and challenging we were both on the verge of death by the time we reached the village. Luckily ...

... I may be risking my life for saying this, but the Turkish coffee I had here (called "Greek Coffee") was far better than all the Turkish coffees I had in Turkey. On the way back I got to see my first dolphin, which decided to race our boat for about 15 minutes. S/he easily won. It was AWESOME!!!! So now that my passport has a Greek stamp in it I feel that this tiny sampling was enough to leave me with wanting more. Who knows, maybe it will be soon.

... accompanying pilots. Off, the Jeep goes racing the wind towards the launching spot at 1700m-height.<br><br>The ride itself took around 60 minutes. It was quite a bumpy journey as the driver was confidently undertaking each turn after another all the way up the road, through the surrounding forests and sloppy mountain edges! The ride up, offers so many interesting and eye-catching natural sceneries. Gazing up-close at the colorful marriage between the blue ...

Well, our Mediterrainian cruise is a bit ... chillier... than expected. It's warm, but extremely windy! And I have a cold. All stuffed up and an irritated throat, but not too bad. Kas is a beautiful place, and looking at property prices... still cheaper than a house in Edmonton, for a 5 bedroom villa on the Turquoise coast. Tempting... Anyway, so we slept on the boat last night. After dinner I had some Turkish raki, which is a grape spirit infused ...

... to lift his feet while on the can so they could vacuum under them. I'm still not sure if he was kidding or not. Our captain, on the other hand, was quite friendly and also what you would call a rather large man. If you go to our Flickr site you can enjoy a very flattering photo of him and I together where it appears he's thinking about putting me in his pocket, maybe to take home for his giant kids to play with, where they would probably dress me up in little ...

... Then we spent a good portion of the early evening just reading on the terrace. Thankfully, Asher has finally discovered Harry Potter. We finished the night with a fabulous meal at Bi Lokma, literally Mamma´s Kitchen. A great dinner on a terrace! We had originally considered going back to the beach restaurant for dinner, so we were pleasantly surprised when the two brothers walked in to dine. We took that as a ringing endorsement! Home to the Jacuzzi and bed.
