... 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 “You’re on your own now” – cheeky sod.

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 ...

... Etablissement in andere starrt; unbrauchbares Inventar wurde am Straßenrand abgestellt und niemand räumt es fort. Genausowenig wie die unzähligen Plastikflaschen und anderer Zivilisationsmüll, der weit über die Insel verteilt ist. Oder die unzähligen Autowracks, die überall abgestellt wurden. Nichts photographierendswertes...

Es gibt auch schöne Ecken auf der Insel, aber zu wenige für die Massen an Touristen. Auch wenn die meisten fast ausschließlich in ...

... durch das lose Geröll den Fußmarsch lohnen? Ich werde es heute nicht erfahren, sondern genieße auf halbem Wege, den fast Menschenleeren Strand mit kristallklarem Wasser ohne Seegrashaufen. Es gibt zwar keinen Sand, sondern mit Kieseln durchsetztes dunkelgraues Granulat, aber darauf liegt es sich genauso gut.
Das Wasser ist angenehm temperiert und es gibt keine kostenpflichtigen Schirme und Sonnenliegen.

... mit Haufenweise angespültem Seegras.
Die Insel scheint sich fest in der Hand von Niederländern zu befinden, überall schreien mich die Anzeigen für Nederlandse Verpflegung an: "Frikandel und Broodjes"
Die vielen Katzen auf der Insel interessieren sich nicht für Nationalitäten - Fressen zählt, vor allem Fisch.
Abends beim Tavernenbesuch harren sie ...

... and city light view. Too bad the food wasn't as good as the food but it was still worthwhile. The highlight of this area was about a 45 minute drive to Gumusluk? Check out the pics, it's breathtaking. We were able to swim in crystal clear blueish green water. Also, there were tons of fish restaurants on the sea that had great food and view. We ordered shrimp that was really ...

... Special K at the Kipa and we ate that for breakfast. We walked out to a beach that we didn't usually go to. We had more fun there than at the other beach. I liked it better because it had two rafts, it was great for snorkeling, there was a dock that we could jump off. We snorkeled, we dived, we played around on the rafts. Near the end, Dad ordered us French fries from the restaurant. Soon after, we left, had cheese sandwiches for lunch at home. Me, Kate and ...

... or deep sea fishing? One of the most popular fishing cruises off the coast of Bodrum is in the autumn when the tuna fish run through these waters.
