... going back and no-one telling me til the next morning over breakfast!)... When the boat departed from Koycegiz I was the only person on it - aside from the driver/captain and his mother (who was also the cook; the waitress and a better skilled sailor/navigator than her son who on the way back, slept at the back of the boat while she steered!!). I was on my own for an hour as we sailed out ...

I was really overdue my holidays, finally getting to take it in October and I just signed up to two weeks of not doing much in Turkey with a couple of friends in a group. For me though not doing much isn't my cup of tea so I took every chance to re-live my old Turkey memories, from food, sights, sea, dancing and ahem, yes the men, again :)

Please come back soon as I update all the stories from the two weeks. Thanks.

... tour to an island that will most likely also have undergone a similar transition.

Does this actually benefit the area? I have to assume that it does, that the number of tourists who travel through from cruise liners and package holidays enjoy the ability to simply relax away from home, thus bringing in vital income to the area. But I hope that areas that cater to the travellers market (for people like myself) is not ignored as ...

... in the past, I was surprised to see it still existed with me. As I was writing an email to a friend I even started crying. The storm was full on. I was feeling lonely, unloved and full of self pity.


The Goddesses of Rhythm
Reading sacred text is a common prescription to deal with mind storms. For me, the text that always works wonders is by Abraham-Hicks. Maybe not as “sacred” as Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras but, from my perspective, just as ...

... around. I got to go in first while Chris and Damien watched, but the guard was too alert for any subterfuge. It wasn't really a problem, as the baths were also a giant waste of money. I barely noticed the warm water, so busy was I dodging swirls of green goo and flaccid pink Germans. We wandered around the ancient ruins and in the early afternoon made our way to the Marmaris peninsula on the south coast.

... dam was. Our tour guide pointed out, "My dear guests, and now you can see on the left side a lake with a modern dam, and yet next to it you can see Roman Aquaducts used for bringing water. Here in Pergamum you can see the old and the new."

Up on the Acropolis, the high point of the city, we learned why some of the walls were immaculately built, whereas others looked haphazardly put together, without any thought toward aesthetic qualities. See the Greeks put ...

... she suggests the same retaurant as the woman at the reception.
The restaurant is well known in Bodrum and it's called BABADAN.
We enjoy lunch with Zinet and we say goodbye to each other before sailing back to Kos. - I had my cup of Turkish coffee turned, and she told me what she saw in the cup concerning my life.......many trips was one of them!!!

We are impressed by the Turkish people, the nice roads and nice buildings.
For the ...

... renewal trip to the Greek island of Megisti (or in Turkish, Meis), off the coast of Kas, east of here, and which was related in the previous blog entry. Since I want to relate about the hike I took the following day, I'll make this entry look like I'm posting from Kas rather than Fethiye.

And, I didn't get to Kas by flying from Konya! I went from Konya to Ankara; then to Antalya, Olympos and Kas. Now there is no way--never mind an onerous way-- to document this journeying ...

Looking out over the boat, all I see is water so blue it's like paint being brushed on a canvas. If you glance down you can see right through the water to the fish swimming along the boat. Every morning I was greeted with majestic waters to snorkel in and intense sunshine for tanning my porcelain skin. This would be my life for the next four days... Early in the morning Daniel and I packed up our things and walked to the harbor where we boarded Zafer-K, our new home for the next 4 ...
