... a bloody nightmare. Carrying heavy bags through the docks till we reached our ferry was a tad painful given our various ailments. However we settled into our 'couchettes’ and had an agreeable journey.

However, on our arrival at the yard at 03.15, despite our instructions to the yard, the boat was securely locked and the office well closed. Luckily Bob, the yard manager, woke up and after trying bolt cutters and hacksaw, eventually cut the ...

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.

We got home in time to shower adn change for our dinner with Burchin and her family. They prepared "with love" a dinner of borek, a bulgher dish with tomatoes and greens, salad and a warm dessert made with nut called Helva. It is made with semolina, milk, nuts and sugar ...

A great number of Muslim Turks will enjoy a nice alcoholic beverage, smoke cigarettes and make the most of the "good things in life", though taking care not to do these during religious occasions such as Ramazan (Ramadan) or the Kandil.
