Bodrum, Turkey - We arrived in Bodrum late last night (11pm local time). After a couple of phone calls to our otel (not a spelling error that is how it is spelt) they finally came and picked us up at the otogar (bus depot). Our room is quite cozy (small) but it has a double bed and a ensuite bathroom. The bathroom however includes the shower and toilet in the same room, so you can shower and do your business at the same time!
Bodrum is a city known for its night clubs and all night bars. The slow season just started so most of the clubs are closed or are complete empty. The temperature is 17C and the locals are wearing touques and winter jackets! So needless to say the city is relaxed and quite. We spent the day walking all the main streets and window shopping. We found a great cafe that has fixed lunches for 6 YTL (very cheap). It includes rice, eggplant/meat stew, and a delicious yogurt based garlic and vegetable soup (see picture at bottom). Actually, our total cost for meals today was 20 YTL (14.30 CAD). Just to state that again, that was for both of us!!!
After dinner we found a Scottish pub that had draught beers for 3 YTL. Tomorrow we hope to visit St.Peter's Castle (built around the Crusade time).
Before I go, I want everyone who knows Kara Leene to tell her to come Turkey. Hope to see you soon Kara!
