... hill rising up out of the town. Ouch! That was one of many, many we passed today. Hard cycling at the best of times. Absolutely miserable in the ******* rain. What would have taken maybe 4 days of pain, we finished in about 4 hrs of comfort.

Brian must have been feeling better about our mode of transportation today. With his steaming cup of cay he toasted the hardest hills we've cycled yet.

No problem!

... 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!

... our arrival he appeared and took us out to a meal at the delightful Garvock House as a treat and reward for looking after his bunny hunters – 2 delightful lurcher *****es who like nothing better than dis-embowelling and eating raw bunny, on the hoof – Beatrix Potter this ain't.

Caol Na Mara, our house in Tarbert, is surrounded by jolly wee rabbits who like nothing better than winding up dogs by hopping around muttering about what wonderful ...

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.

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 ...

... to us. Turns out we met them both on the Greek İslands earlier in the trip. Kelly met Matt at the Far Out Camping bar when she left the hospital to go get our bags for our ferry. Yes, you heard that correctly. Kelly met him at a BAR. While her sister Brittany was in the hospital, Kelly was having a drink at a BAR. This was news to us. Kelly pretended not to remember it. Kelly and Sarah met Evan at a bar on Santorini. We sat around the cafe talking about our travels. Matt was ...
