Today I just spent more time on the beach. No trans-sexuals sat next to me this time. I thought about continuing my search for a camera but I decided to stick to my plan and just wait until Fethiye.
 
After the beach, I went to the bus station to buy a ticket for Fethiye. I then returned to the hostel where I spent some time talking to Zion, Vikas and Rasheed.
 
Later in the evenig, everyone in my dorm room, including myself, went out for drinks. Emile was taking a late bus out of town so we went out for Bon Voyage drinks. I invited a Canadian guy, Ryan, to come with us as he just checked in and didnt know anybody. We ended going to the Tequila bar again. It was a nice place that had a patio. I had a great time chatting with everyone. When the bill, there was some confusion. They charged us for 7 beers (in addition to the Tequilas) when we only had 6. So we politely pointed this out. All of a sudden, this old Turkish man comes over to our table and starts screaming at us in Turkish. I knew he wasnt speaking nice words. People turned and looked over to our table. It was so unneccesary. It wasnt like we acted like they were trying to rip us off. We knew it was just a mistake.  Because I dont tolerate anyone yelling at me, I snapped back and told him that they made a mistake but since they were making such a big deal out of nothing I would pay for the extra beer. The guy storms off and then comes back and asks each of us how many beers we ordered. The total was 6 beers. He was frustrated and told us just to pay for 6. I was so mad that he turned the whole thing into a spectacle. I wasnt embarrased by what happened but I think some of the others were because of the unwanted attention. So shortly after we settºed the bill and walked towards our hostel, I realized that the guy was right. We did have 7 beers! We totally forgot about Emil who had 1 beer but left early to catch his bus. We all laughed. What could you do?
 
At 1 am I called it a night. My pillow in my dorm room was absolutely soaked from the sweat coming from my head. It was a tough night to sleep .This place really needs air conditioning or at least a fan.
