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 ...

... guide will hand you your wet suits and repeat the info about the activity. If you say you can swim a bit you will be handed your live vest immediately and enter the canyon accompanied by your guide. You will make your way through the canyon between rock faces that are hundreds of meters high. You will swim, walk and climb short stretches. At some places there are ladders and during the climbs you will always be accompanied by your guide. The best fun is standing under a ...

... for the Aquarium of Firnaz Bay near Kalkan for breakfast & swimming. Cruising to Kas harbour for lunch & a visit of the charming fishing village of ancient Antiphellos, as Kas was once known. Only Lycian rock tombs & sarcophagi and a Roman theatre are left. But the charm of the town remains! In a bay near Kekova we will stop for swimming, dinner and our 2nd night.

Day 3
After breakfast we departure for the Sunken City of Kekova (this Lycian ...

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 ...

... completely carried away with it all. Woke up at four in the morning rolling off my lounger and almost off the boat as we were blasting our way through huge swells on the sea. Spent the next few hours in misery standing at the back of the boat holding on for dear life to a huge wooden table that I had thought was stuck to the ground it was so heavy but which was now being thrown all over the shop with me the hungover wet cloth being dangled around with it. Ashen ...

... Hicks’ <http://www.Abraham-Hicks.com> instructions, I’ve been writing notes about the things I love and appreciate in my life . The process itself, of noticing joyous experiences and writing about them, was very joyful.
I wrote about my love of water, of swimming in the sea, of drinking water, of steam rooms, hot springs, and of living near the water edge.
I wrote about practicing yoga, of teaching yoga, of reaching deeper understandings within ...

... The following night we travelled to Chimera, three kilometres from the hotel. Chimera is a magical place of fire, where the ground literally has been burning for thousands of years. Methane seeps out of the rocks and burns looking for all intents and purposes like a collection of campfires. Some say this is the place the original ...

... the road and over the pebble beach we reached the Mediterranean. It was time to take that small step into the great blue beyond. Morganne and I bounded right in and squealed a bit as the cold water found a few lose seams in the wet suits to sneak into. Jeff was more cautious, but he finally got into water about waist high. Then we all put on our masks the way we had been taught moments ago (position them over your eyes then breath in through your ...

... green beans. The beans were mixed in with a tomato (what else...!) based sauce which was very nicely seasoned. It was served with rice with chick peas. They also served us a selection of Mezzes (cool vegetable based dishes). Those were good as well. So that brings us to this morning (Thursday). We woke up to realize that there was no power. From what we understand from our hosts, this is a fairly common occurrence. We did have water (hot and ...

... was amazing no matter where you sat. Our old friend Hadrian had showed up here too as there was a gate in his honour -- he really did get around! We hopped back on the bus and cruised to the local trout farm -- after a long drive down a hill we were rewarded with another awesome meal.... We sat in a small square area that had been built over the little stream...all the wildlife, the ducks etc just ...
