Magnific Gumbet

... with different times while pointing to his legs...I couldn't figure out the problem. We would lift the bikes into the storage compartment. These are monster buses with enormous storage capacity. After much frustration and a few too many 'problem, problems', I decided to hang his 'problem' and buy the tickets anyways. We'd deal with the 'problem' in the morning.

Seems that buying the tickets and not ...

... back in time. Shopping for food is done by road-side stand: honey, olives, mandarins, gourds, and other fruits and vegetables that are locally grown. I think that the oranges i bought were picked that morning. Then the man brings his crate or two to the corner to sell during the day. I got about a dozen oranges for 1 TL and the price was calculated with an old scale with ...

... backwards out of the attic, broke a rib and punctured a lung. Thus, when we left, we were not at peak fitness.

After leaving Will we headed to Edinburgh airport, caught the flight to Heathrow and then got the 21.00 flight to Athens which arrived on time at 02.30 on Wednesday morning. Now all we had to do was hang around waiting for our flight at 08.55 in the morning. We found tolerably uncomfortable seats and settled down for a long wait.

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 ...

... and listened to Turkish trance music while smoking our first hookah (Apple flavored). We shared funny travel stories and discussed the "Ladder Theory." This is an apparently well known theory about the difference between men and women when they look at friends versus relationships. İf you are interested in more details, google it or go to Dave the Austrailian bartenders facebook. Evan and Matt learned a lot about girls from us and we gave them all kinds of valuable relationship ...
