I didn’t sleep very well last night; too much excitement with the horse-back riding and I could feel a cold coming on (due to all that sitting in wet clothes in the car for hours). When I woke up it felt like I had hardly slept at all. On top of everything it was raining outside, although all the forecasts on all the sites reported sun from Kas. I went for breakfast, then went back to the room to read my new “EU law research methodology” book and then fell to sleep again (yes, it was that good!). When I woke up it was noon, with greyish skies outside but at least no rain. I put on my training clothes and decided to take a walk out on the Kas Peninsula – big new development where ... read more

When I woke up this morning I felt a cold coming on, but then I went out on my balcony and; Voilà! The sun was out and in a jiffy all my symptoms were gone. All night Kas had been as under siege with constant power cuts, flooded houses, thunder claps and a very angry sea. So in the morning there was a feeling of culmination for the Kas-villagers trying to tidy up the place. I had no appointments to keep so I took my time over breakfast; reading my legal philosophy book and sipping numerous coffees. I have a new - quite large -feline friend; it is a male cat of some kind of oriental pedigree and most likely with an owner somewhere. I started feeding him under the table (as you do not to ... read more

Out on the town and the hot spot The Bar-celona last night, the bartenders tried to scare me…”Oh, tomorrow there will be a terrible storm. The roads and the schools will be closed. You will never be able to go out on a boat!” Since I had just booked a boat for a day trip to the Greek island of Kastellorizon (Meis in Turkish) I found the news a bit depressing. Thus, this morning when I woke up I rushed to the window and saw a compact grey sky but no rain and definitely not a storm. Yihaa! I was going to be able to do the Kastellorizon mountain hike after all…After having played a bit with the restaurant stray kittens and had some breakfast I took off for the harbour. Among the other passengers where ... read more

In June this year I came to Kas as part of an 15 day adventure journey of Turkey. It felt like paradise; a mix of Nice or San Tropez on the Côte d'Azur where I used to live and the bohemian chic town of Nelson in New Zeeland with the layout and blend of a Swedish costal resort called Fjällbacka. Our round-trip of Turkey only stayed here for 2 days and I swore to come back a s a p. So, here I am on an off-season excursion, supposedly mixing business with pleasure (it's mostly been my fav "Pleasure" so far.) It is not obvious how to get here. Kas is many hours away from any airport and the roads are Monacanly winding and any fall will be your last....I decided to come via Dalaman airport ... read more
