... 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 ...

... the ruins of an ancient city: crumbling walls, theater, temple, necropolis, etc. Enormous pieces lie where they first fell. No catalog numbers can be seen on the stones, and no museum displays the archaeological finds of the area. No admission charges or line ups. Just us looking at the pieces of the past.

I hope to find many more of these places, towns, and peoples as we go!

... off of Leros. The wind continued to hold up well as we sailed along the bleak, rugged and mountainous coast of the Island of Kalymnos, past the wee goat island of Pserimos (where a few taverna owners make a living from the day trip boats) and the windy passage between it and Kos. Here we had an amusing half hour or so surfing down the waves created by the converging winds and currents in this narrow channel. At one point the log showed us at 11 knots ...

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 ...

... 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.

... warum das Ehepaar neben mir denn nur 20 Euro zahlen müsse lautet die Antwort: "Special Price", denn sie wären von Ihr** Reisegruppe - das Ehepaar spricht all**dings Deutsch und von ein** Reisegruppe wissen sie nichts;-)
Am Ticketschalt** bezahlt man dann nochmals Passkontrollsteu**. Auf dem Beleg steht 3 Euro, v**langt w**den 4,20 Euro, mangels Kleingeld w**den es 4 Euro - int**essante Rechnung.
Muß man Bodrum gesehen haben? Die Festung ...

... we quickly changed back at the hotel and headed back into the marina area for some drinks and dinner (this time, we were planning on getting to the Yacht Club restaurant at least 10 minutes before closing this time. We had a great dinner there and after several bottles of wine, we got a great candid video of Charlie "singing" Knocking on Heaven's Door...we'll post the video for the full affect...around 2:00am, we made it home.

... nose. I had hit the other side of the wall--some concrete. It hurt. I came up to the surface. The pain was so harse it was hard to speak. Mom got me out of the water and I sat down my nose was bleeding and it was bruised. I still have a stripe on the bridge of my nose. Did I ever tell you how I feel about my nose? To find out how it feels to bonk your nose, re-read this story. It's kind of like one of those shirts that says "How to keep dumb people busy--read the ...

... are all white stucco type. The water at the beach was the most beautiful turquoise color. The marina was incredible. There were a bunch of yacht's with restaurants inside. Everyone was dressed to kill, as if they were going to a party. It seemed that everyone was headed to a night club. We went to the castle of St. Peter. The Knight's Hospitaller captured Bodrum and built a castle from which they protected the town. They built the castle using ...

... Loggerhead Turtles, the famous Iztuzu beach lies to the east of Marmaris.
