We are in Olympos after finishing a 4 day boat cruise on the Mediterannean. We went with a company called V-Go Yachting and it was alright except our guide was totally awol for a good chunk of the trip, leaving us with the rest of the crew that hardly spoke any english. also, they managed to run out of beer on two separate days. we tried to bargain with the crew to buy out the entire ...

... twice daily. You will have plenty of time to sunbathe on the beach after the tour so if you would like to bring personal belongings with you (mobile phone, money, towel etc.) you can leave these at the beach restaurant for safekeeping. Don’t forget to put on sun cream before the tour and bring a hat if you have one.

Information: The canoe tour will be accompanied by a boat manned by a second guide, this in conform with the regulations of the coastguards. All ...

Sail from Fethiye - Olympos for 4 days and 3 nights of pure fun and adventure, boozing it up on deck with the onboard sounds flooding the bays by night, and swim the seas and relax by day under the mediteranean sun while sipping your cocktails or skulling your bevies, try your hand at snorkling or simply try to stay in the rubber tube as your dragged ...

I always find it an interesting experience when I grow my facial hair. For the second time in my life I have found myself "cultivating" a beard of sorts (having had a rebillious and somewhat scraggly teenage goatee in my early University days).

This time it has grown more from circumstance and laziness then design - the result of frenetic travel days merged into the lethargy of days relaxing on boats and ...

... madness, generally resulting in a bemused crowd standing around us, then taking photos and then imitating the moves so we felt we left our little mark on the local populace! Turkish dance, for men and women, seems to revolve around a mixture of Bollywood and Daniel O'Donnell in his prime so we couldnt have done much damage to be fair.
Have to say that this was probably the highlight of the Turkey trip although Olimpos itself was a very close second....

... be? You are a child of God.
Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us, it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are ...

Turkey is a place everyone should visit at least once. The currency is close to the NZD , the people open and friendly , food is plentiful varied and cheap and rather tasty , the language is just weird and you have lots of truly strange Russian tourists to ogle at. We have stayed put in Cirali, a national park on the Mediterranean coast for ...

... check email, etc. Jeff and Morganne went to check on the McManus Castles on the beach that we built yesterday. When they got back, I still wasn't quite done, so they played ping pong until I finished up. Then we headed out for our adventure of the day - snorkeling! First we had to go get some cash (this turned out to take over an hour - but it was a necessity. Then began the adventure of finding the Adrasan Dive Center. We found the village of ...

... be tomato packing plants, ketsup producing plants, etc. I didn't see them from the road though - all I saw were row upon row, upon row.... Of greenhouses filled to the top with tomatoes! 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. Imagine my dismay when it came and it was a large bowl full of chopped tomatoes, green ...

... 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. With a little encouragement from us our guide EG sat us down and sang a song - the sound in the ...
