L Ambiance Resort Gumbet

... hill rising up out of the town. Ouch! That was one of many, many we passed today. Hard cycling at the best of times. Absolutely miserable in the ******* rain. What would have taken maybe 4 days of pain, we finished in about 4 hrs of comfort.

Brian must have been feeling better about our mode of transportation today. With his steaming cup of cay he toasted the hardest hills we've cycled yet.

No problem!

Rolling along, we were greeted with visions of old castles, abandoned monasteries, and ancient temples.

Euronos was one we were able to cycle up to. After noticing several hints of the past along the road, I was pulled towards a peek-a-boo vision of columns in the distance. Here, amongst a Shepherd and his flock of sheep, as well as countless olive harvesters ...

Despite whiplash, bunnies and 2 real *****es we are again back on Tiercel and in the Aegean Sea. This is an opportunity for a 4 week break to work on the boat and enjoy some sailing. However, it is possibly worth a brief look back at our last few weeks in Scotland to set the scene for our journey.

Our trip here started in a wet, cold and windy Tarbert. We travelled to a wetter, colder and windier Dunfermline to leave our car with our son Will. Shortly ...

Perser, Hellenen, Osmanen, Italiener und auch Deutsche - die Insel hat viele Herrscher und Besatzer gesehen und sieht sie noch: die Massentouristen.
Die Zeugnisse der vergangenen Perioden liegen zumeist in Trümmern, zum Teil verdeckt, zum Teil wieder ausgegraben - der Massentourismus hält noch an, und doch findet man sie überall: die Ruinen von "Burger Inn"s von Pubs, Restaurants und Souvenirshops. Zum Teil findet man ganze Straßenzüge, in denen ein ...

Strahlender Sonnenschein - wie gewöhnlich und eine sanfte Brise.
Mit dem Leihrad geht es die Küste entlang. Immer weiter, bis das Ende der Welt, genauer: der Straße erreicht ist.
Hier gibt es leider nur sehr wenige Schattenplätze an einer Imbißbude mit knatterndem Generator. Kein heimeliges Plätzchen, um die Aussicht zu genießen.
Weiter an der Küste entlang ginge es nur zu Fuß, am Hang entlang. Ob die Ödnis, die ...

Da kauft man das Ticket schon nicht für den beinahe doppelten Preis beim Reisev**anstalt**, sond**n direkt am Hafen, am Schiff - und macht es dennoch falsch.
Am Ticketschalt** in d** Cafet**ia am Ende d** Hafenmole, dort wo die Schiffe ablegen hätte ich kaufen sollen.
So war es mir v**gönnt, einen 25 Prozentigen Zuschlag bezahlt zu haben (24 Euro insgesamt) - entwed** für das nicht eingesetzte Schnellboot, od** Provision.

In Kos Stadt stellt sich "Fidelio" als ein netter Ort für leckere grischische Kost heraus - direkt neben einem "Holland Snack" gelegen, am Ausgrabungsgelände entlang, rund 150m von ...

The small bus, called a Dolmus bus picked me up in front of the hotel. People were cramped into the bus with only 11 seats - many were standing crookedly towards the back. Was that a rooster?? Yes, there was a rooster in a cage on the bus! The bus sped off - the driver only had his foot on the accelerator, honking instead of breaking. Phew, I survived the trip to downtown Bodrum. Fun and interesting ride.

The streets were narrow with lots of small ...

Dave - Australian bartender that was promised one day off a week and has not seen one yet in his two months there. not actually a member of the family.

Grandma, Grandpa, Brothers, Sisters, Nieces and Nephews were also there but did not impact our lives as much. İt is worth mentioning that we were the only people staying at Hotel Kalender ...
