... and serve it up with salad, bread and rice etc etc... We had the calamari grilled and fried and it came with garlic bread and garlic sauce (lush!!). After lunch I said good bye to Tonielle as she was heading onto Konya today and I went off on further searches for the weekly market... After a good 30min walk I found an area around a long canal at the end of the harbour under a million and one white canvas circus-like-tents ...

... to the mud baths and I was abandoned for an hour to go and explore.<br> <br> <br><br>You had to pay to enter the mud baths, even if you didn't go in and I have to admit (at the risk of sounding a snob - after visiting the blue lagoon (Iceland) there was no way I getting in the water/mud here!! It was hard to distinguish where the actual 'natural healing' spring started and where it was ...

... the weather cleared up, so we went on a 12 Island boat tour. Our wooden boat had a sun deck, water slide, and diving platform. Of course, Tom's first order of buisiness was to dive off the platform, which turned into a graceful backflop instead! Our favorite stop was Aquarium bay, where we snorkeled. The water was so clear you could see 20 feet down, and there were fish all around. The last stop was red beach ...

Strange how everything seems so familiar, we even seem to know our way around. Oh now we understand we were here 61 days ago. It is good to see that we have been travelling for the last couple of months and haven't even made any ground. We have just been doing a big circle. <br><br>We made our way to the city center, dropped off our bags and went straight away to find out the ferries to Rhodes. Unfortunately there are no ferries on Sunday, the next ...

We woke at 5 the next morning for another long day of driving. We arrived at the campsite mid-afternoon in Oludinez after following the beautiful coastal road down through the mountains. I was very impressed at our campsite, run by an English girl, it was right on the lagoon with a bar and a lovely comfy cushions to recline on with a shisha. Everyone spent the afternoon getting ready for the Dutch Queen's Day celebrations by kitting out in all their orange attire ...

... of their own food and have music jams and hippy love-in's at night when the tourists have all gone home. I'd imagine, we were only there for a couple of hours over lunch. St Nicholas Island - We spent the night moored here and although we couldn't go ashore on the land between the trees you could see the stone remains of ancient buildings that had fallen into ruin. Kas (pronounced Cash) - A small fishing, boating ...

... off, get halfway in before the windward boat is backed halfway out, then back in with us attached. Narrowly avoid wiping the outboard off the already damaged dinghy, but get in without too much bad will from the other boats. We have thoroughly enjoyed the cruise. Definitely recommend it to anyone who loves swimming, and relaxing on boats. Our boat was definitely fancier than we expected (though various incidents during the trip showed us ...

... get too wet but if they hike much further they are definitely going to get wet. I was just trying to keep my backpack and camera from getting wet. Over the next couple of hours we hiked up the gorge crossing the stream often but trying to stay on the pebbled sides of the stream. The gorge is so narrow in points that you can touch both sides of the walls which rise hundreds of meters above. We had to climb over rocks, scale the short waterfalls and ...

... in it (I don't trust anyone as far as I can throw 'em). Demre doesn't have much to offer tourists. It has some beaches, sure. Every coastal town in Southern Turkey does. But one unique thing it does have is the Church of St. Nicholas, aka Santa Claus. Demre turned out to be the most crowded place I would visit on my vacation. I hadn't seen a Greek person the whole time I had been in Turkey, but the area around the church of St. Nicholas was filled to bursting with ...
