There are two other items of note from Wednesday. First was with regards to my lunch. I decided to be brave and just pick something off the menu - I choose a cheese salad.

... much the same as yesterday through picturesque green mountainsides. Just before lunch we stopped at the ruins of Phaselis, founded around the 6th century BC. The aqueduct is in really good condition - it carried water from the hills to the city. It had beautiful harbours and baths and a huge theatre.
