Perez 'le,Yasemin biraz erken gelmişler liman kapısında buluştuk. Polis 15 temmuz olaylarından sonra, artık herkesten SGK raporu istiyor ...buna çalışmayan eşim de dahil .. Çıkış pullarını niçin damga olarak değil de pul olarak verdiklerini anlamak mümkün değil. Böyle işlere kafa takmamalıyım . Teknemiz Asım Kaptan .. Bu konuda yapılan tüm esprileri geçiyorum . Yerleştik. Gemi 9:30 da kalktı.. Dostluğumuz 60 yıllık ama kesinti çok olunca birbirimizi yeniden keşfed... read more

Two days sitting by the pool reading and I was getting restless so we decided to do a day trip with a scooter and explore. Another warm day was ahead so the breeze on a scooter should be pleasant. Tomas had a bike licence so we took out a 125cc for 25 Euro. The smaller engines were 20 and little scooters 15. This is what was suggested considering we wanted to cover some distance and climb hills with the weight of the two of us. Our Dutch neighbours had mentioned that they had toured the Island with a quad bike the previous year so offered some suggestions of where to go. They circled locations on our crude map of the island which was the best I could find. The scooter dealer that opened earliest at 8.30am ... read more

Arrived 10.30 pm. I prepaid a shuttle with Resorthoppa which was very cheap and took us to the door of Oasis in Tigaki. On first impression it looked like we were the only ones staying here and that it was a little simple and isolated. In retrospect it is not a surprising impression for arriving in the middle of the night. I was initially concerned that we had commited to spend 2 weeks here. I commented that at least Tigaki had street lighting unlike other tiny villages we had dropped people off on the way so it couldn't be too boring. Our room did have a kitchenette with everything we needed and everything working with fridge, table, balcony and ensuite. It was clean and tidy and not at all shabby. Our impression changed for the better ... read more

Amy went to Greece for a simple reason - her Mum and Dad were finally going to tie the knot! So, a very exciting week was spent in the lovely island of Kos, preparing for the wedding. Amy's grandparents and uncles were there, so she had lots of people to play with, and she got to go to the beach and even dipped her feet in the sea. She also made it to the highest point in Kos (Mt Dikeos) and to the capital Kos Town. Amy absolutely loved all of the food in Kos, and ate more Greek salads than most Greek people have ever eaten! She also enjoyed the kleftiko, vine leaves, watermelon, aubergines, yoghurt, and more... The highlight of the week was - of course - seeing her Mum and Dad get married ... read more

Geo: 36.8975, 27.2862 GÜN 05 GÜNLERDEN PAZARTESİ: Sabah erkenden toparlandık. Ayşe 'yi Denizciler kahvesine bırakıp Minibüsümüzü almağa gittim.. Otel parası kadar, park ücreti verip aldım . Bodrum ,sen nelere kadirsin ? Ayşeciği alıp gemimize binmek üzere limana gittik. Her şey güzel, fakat Gümrük memuru yok .. Aracın çıkış işlemlerini yapmamız gerek, fakat galiba gümrükçü bugün kendine izin vermiş .. Telefonlar melefonlar sonunda, herifçioğlu lütfen işinin başına geldi.. Böyle bir rezillik ve laubalilik kelimelerle anlatılamaz.... Utanma sıkılma da yok..... bana bir sürü hikaye anlatıyor.. Halbuki Hıyarettin'in hesabı, "bugün buradan karşıya hiç kimse araçla geçmez" üzerine oturuyor.. Normal olarak vapurumuzun 09:00 da kalkması gerek .. Yolcuları, hazırlıkların tamamlanması... read more
