I woke up today on the roof of the boat, in the sun again and jumped straight into the cool water, straight into one of the cold patches, which really woke me up. After breakfast, we headed for the sunken city of Kekova, which wasn't nearly as impressive as I thought it was going to be. There were a few crumbling ruins on the hill side and traces f foundations in the water. The captain gave us no information, so it was up to yours truly to do it, even though...

I was woken today by our departure at 5am and the pulling up of the anchor which seemed to go on forever. Just like the night trains in Eastern Europe and the madness that goes on at the borders, I couldn't go back to sleep. Finally, after what seemed like forever, we were underway and I actually fell asleep again. I woke up and we were going along at full pelt and I was laying on the bench in the full sun.

As usual with things like this in Turkey, the best part of today was spent screwing around. As a tour leader I did feel the urge to try and organize people a bit better so we could be on our way quicker, but I fought the urge at every turn.

All of whom seem like a lot of fun. Our...

The jeep turned up and I was squashed into the back seat with an English family of five, one of whom a young guy by the name of Ben, immediately stuck up a conversation with me. Ironic considering last nights contem...

The plan today was to have a lazy day at the beach. It certainly didn't start off lazy, as I had to get a dolmus, firstly back down to the otogar and then get another dolmus to Oludeniz beach…the big British tourist mecca of Turkey. I made it to Oludeniz after about an hour of screwing around. I immediately set about getting what I had come here for, no not a tan…..bacon. This is probably one if not the only place in Turkey where one can acquire a full ...
