... Med, once again.

We toured the ruins, I stuck my toe into the Med, and then retreated back for a little siesta. We had a time change last night, and kinda screwed my clock up.

We plan on staying here 2 nights, then on to Kas.

... booze stash but the guy wanted 500 euro for it. anyhow, the weather was great, we did some swimming, hanging out and a lot of just lazing about and doing nothing on the deck. we also were able to sleep outside on the deck underneath the stars (which sounded better than it was, because it got windy at night sometimes). one night we went to this boat access only beach bar where the only ...

... find myself analysing the "new me" in random reflections to try and discern what person the scraggly mess has transformed me into. I usually decide I look like a random traveller who has not bothered to shave for a couple of weeks, and is in desperate need of at least a little TLC ;)

Will I keep the mess? Time will tell I guess, I will decide when I next get the opportunity to do something about it!

... our boat beside some beautiful island and diving over the edge into unbelievably crystal clear 30 foot water before doing it all again after lunch! God u would get used to someone else looking after everything else for you, preserving your energy for opening the next beer or turning over to avoid pressure sores from all the lazing around.

At night we pulled into port and assaulted the local population with some long forgotten Prodigy dance or other ...

The next day we drove the (relatively) short distance to Olympos. The ancient city of Olympos was founded in the Hellenistic period and takes its name from nearby Mount Olympos (one of over 20 mountains by the same name from the Classical world). In the legends, according to Homer, Poseidon watched from the top of the mountains and saw Odysseus sailing away from Calypso's island, so called up a great storm that ...

... tes à 7 km. La montée d'une trentaine de mn est assez hard mais le site est prodigieux! Je me demande s'il existe un autre endroit comme celui-ci dans le monde. Pas de ville ici, mais uniquement un amas de guest houses à prix trés abordables, dans une ambiance conviviale avec la nourriture incluse. Accés à la plage en traversant le ...

... was just too intriguing to pass up. Plus, I am a huge fan of hammocks, and I felt sure there would be an abundance of hammocks there. Shockingly, I think I liked Olympos even more than Mitch did. This from the girl who has said "that doesn't seem very sanitary" countless times during this trip. We stayed in a wooden bungalow with a private bathroom, and it really wasn't that bad. The beauty ...

... but i plan to swap it for the Rome to Milan on a Vespa book when the cruise finishes up. Anchored in yet another gloriously scenic cove, with a typically idyllic stretch of mountainous Meditteranean coastline as a backdrop, we swam, joked, drank, sat, read and relaxed, until another magical sunset rocked into the scene and closed the day. It was already day three of this fantastic experience and none of us wanted it to end ...

... lying abandoned, judging by the number of Melburnians I've met in Turkey), a couple of Americans, some Brits, a Norwegian, and one token Kiwi made for a great mix, and an amazing week of partying and sun. The incomparable Kristy and Rhiannon - lovely Western Australians, and gin dealers extraordinaire - deserve a special mention for putting up with me (and my constant requests for Salmonella Dub and orange juice). Thanks girls :-) And to all those who helped to name ...

... my ankle. Given I am here a short time I quickly head off to the town of Kayakoy, a half hour Dolmus minibus away. After WWI and the Turkish War of Independence it was agreed that all Turks in Greece would be relocated back to Turkey, and vice versa. Kayakoy was a large Greek community of at one time up to 2,5000, just outside of Fethiye. In the early 1920's the Greeks were kicked out. The Turks kicked out of Greece were meant to be relocated to Kayakoy but ...
