This morning it was overcast and drizzling so, after breakfast, we headed for the Panorama Bar to update the blog. Bernie processed a few photos and I brought the travel diary up-to-date and then Bernie tried to log into our travel blog site only to discover that it was blocked. DAMN!! Once again we find ourselves off the blogosphere ... just as we were last year when we were cycling through Belgium and France!! Ah well, we might have to venture into Bodrum again and find ourselves an internet cafe???

With the weather clearing up a bit early in the afternoon we went and secured ourselves sun beds on the beach, where we spent the rest of the day being incredibly lazy until we returned to the Spa & Wellness centre for our massages. Even though I was again subjected to a very vigorous medical massage I have to say that it beats working for a living!!

At last ... Albert won a game of cards!! Albert won Jo and Bernie cruised to an easy victory at Blobs.

Wow - a real rest
Sounds like you are finally getting a real break and should be super relaxed by the time you move on. Loved the glass wear in the museum - amazing. Enjoy yourselves despite the frustation with the net cheers

Lucky you!
Hi Tracey & Bernie, I'm really glad you're enjoying Turkey. It's one of my favourite countries - have been there 3 times. Hope you're going to visit Goreme in Cappodoccia, Central Turkey. Amazing place, home to the ancient troglodytes who built homes in the strange pointed sandstone towers which proliferate the countryside. These were later used by the christians to escape persecution. So there is wonderful artwork inside those caves used as churches. Fascinating place. Good to take a balloon ride over the area for a spectacular view. Also try to get to Permukale - the calcified terraces there are AMAZING and the ancient Roman ruins are in excellent condition. There is a cave nearby which is a church dedicated to the Virgin Mary and is a place of pilgimage for both Christians, Muslims & Jews!! She is purportedly buried nearby. Well worth a visit. Cheers, Caroline
