... through til the next morning and the opportunity to do a island tour was not possible, there was a weekly market on today (Tuesday) and we wandered around in search of it... Unable to find it we went to the fish market and bought 1kg of calamari for lunch (by the time it was cleaned and had the heads removed, it was considerably smaller) and there are various restuarants around the market that will cook whatever you buy ...

Getting to Koycegiz was a bit of a logistical nightmare, (I think from Selcuk - it was three buses!!) but I got there in the end. I stayed in a guesthouse that was recommended to me from the guys I stayed with in Selcuk and it paled in comparision - but possibly because I was only one of two people staying there. The owner was a slightly strange man and he had an 'assistant' who can only be ...

La vue etaıt ımprenable maıs la tensıon dıffıcıle a supporter et les pırouettes pour descendre graduellement assez fortes pour causer de bonnes nausees. Quelle experıence folle ... a ne ...

... one of the many nearby restaurants, where they cook it for you! We were lucky enough to have a local gal help us pick out our fish, and then we ate at her family's restaurant. They cooked the fish, gave us garlic bread, a huge salad, and fish sauce for 4.5 Lira! We also got to have some Raki with the family, and talked with their son about his upcoming trip to the US. It was a very rewarding evening.<br>The next ...

... a bush on the beach, the only shade we could find, until at 5 our ferry taxi was to take us back to town. We had decided the walk down the cliff was enough. We can tell you the ferry taxi back was unbelievably rough, maybe it would have been easier to climb the cliff. <br><br>That night when reaching our hostel we were so exhausted we dropped down into our unexpectedly comfortable beds and were out like lights. <br><br>Tomorrow we head to Rhodes.

... th masts, but no sails just a really big motor. We had three crew members on the boat: the Captaýn, Çoscun (Joscun). The fýrst cook was replaced by Adnan who we liked a lot and had spent 6 years on a merchant marine boat as a cook, so he was really good. The fýrst deck hand who we called 'Pýrate Man', was replaced by Alper, a 19 year old wýth a great attitude. (We never knew why there was a crew change, but the food only got ...

... plus our one, mended mask, and swim to the passage between a small island and the mainland, crossing into the "Blue Lagoon", which is just that, very deep, cold and blue, almost devoid of fish life. There are rows and rows of sun umbrellas,and a large crowd of swimmers and sunbathers. It looks like a resort, but we swim across anyway, haul out and walk around a well-made path to the shallower lagoon, with paddle boats, picnic ...

... who has been seasick before, all you want to do is relax, not move and feel the wind. Since I had the camera, I knew Lauren would never let me live it down it I told her that I felt too sick to take pictures or video, so I took care of business and then got back into the action. Without all the turns, it was actually a lot more enjoyable. Luckily, Lauren does not get seasick, and while I was throwing up, I ...

... and served up, it was probably the best meal I've had on my trip. SOO good! While eating in the restaurant, Ahmed ran into a few friends he had met in another hostel, who joined us for dinner, and we ended up having a great night on the town together, sharing travel stories and experiences. We would end up meeting up and planning get-togethers over the next few days. Day 2 in Fethiye was a trip planned north to the town of Dalyan, known for its wetlands ...
