Last night in Bodrum was a little nutty. There was practically a monsoon. Sounded like tiles were being blown off the roof along with any dogs or small children that weren't secured indoors. I was in a dorm room, which naturally was empty except for me, and i walked in from having dinner in the evening to a wet floor... water was dripping in from around the light fixture in the roof on one side of the room and through a crack in the roof on the other side. Anyhow, none of my stuff got wet, so i was happy.
I did make it to the Bodrum Museum of Underwater Archaeology, which is why i came here. It was actually pretty interesting as they have a cool display of the oldest shipwreck ever found. It shows how everything was scattered on the sea floor, and from that how they reconstructed a guess at how the ship looked and was loaded when it sank. The entire museum is housed in an old castle and you can descend into the dungeons for a look at a rather ghastly display of how they 'stored' prisoners there.
Had a fantastic mean of 'kofta', basically turkish meatballs, with yoghurt and tomato sauce over pita... sounds odd but it's real good.
Braved the storm this morning to get on a bus to Selchuk... here i will see some of the most fantastic ruins in Turkey.
PS... this is the 8th day of rain in 9 days, but there was that 1 day of sun... where was i? what was i doing? Well, here's a photo... luckily i happened to be hiking from Fethiye over to Oludeniz to the Blue Lagoon, darn near Turkey's nicest beach...
