... The ticket clerk told him that Olympic airlines had informed us by e-mail of the changes. We later discovered that this was while we were actually travelling!<br><br>As a result we had to re-organise ourselves to get the ferry from Piraeus, an hour&#8217;s bus drive from the airport. We got there at about 08.00 and our ferry left at 19.00 so we decided to find a hotel and rent a room for the day. <br><br>In any port, it is common practice for people to rent a ...

... und die Notwendigkeit zum Verlassen der Hotelanlage immer geringer wird?<br><br>Es war durchweg sonniges und warmes Wetter, aber es ist bereits Herbst. Wie mag es im Sommer, bei Klimawandel werden - lässt es sich dann noch unter einem Sonnenschirm aushalten? Ansonsten bleiben dann die Touristen weg, denn Pools und Imbissbuden stehen dann weiter im Norden.<br><br>Aber vielleicht ist das weder ein Verlust, noch interessiert es die eigentlichen Bewohner der Insel.<br>

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 ...

... 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>

... served us lunch.<br>What a wonderful lunch!<br><br>Back in Bodrum to experience a little bit of night life. While walking the streets of the city, I could hear dance music in the distance. I looked in the direction and saw flickering lights as well. This was a great outdoor night club called Halikarnas based on the ancient mausoleum Halicarnasos. Music was loud and on stage a Turkish male belly dancer.<br><br>What a nice day to spend in Bodrum Turkey.<br><br>

... presents and try to guess what they were. I got her pearl earrings and a silver dolphin necklace that I bought at St. Peter's castle. Dolphins are a symbol of Bodrum. There is also a statue in the water of Bodrum of dolphins. We went to the beach after we opened presents. We had lots of fun.

... oning! Bodrum was very hot so it was nice to hang by the pool and then hit the town after things cooled a být in the evening. There is not much history in Bodrum but plenty of shoppýng. Ý wish Ý had the money and room to pack thýngs. As it is Ý had to leave behind a few things since it is too expensive to ship.

... is a great castle, with plenty of little details on every wall to compliment the museum and the more significant aspects of its construction. Parts of older carved stones built straight into newer walls (love the loin cloth and legs above right), specific reliefs in the structure and the many coats of arms are evidence of a combined ...

... The Exorcist. She's back at them in perfect Turkish, idioms and all, and suddenly they are on shaky ground. I love to watch it every time. Now, I'm crammed into a small, hot room, maybe twelve feet deep and ten feet wide, along with nine other people. Women and children, operators and customers - it's Saturday, and they are dressing up in Bodrum! Hair is being sprayed, makeup is being applied, nails are being painted. Even the kids are getting the treatment. A little girl of about ...
