Oceania Cruise - Bodrum

Neil & I had a very enjoyable night with an American couple we have met on the boat so consequently we were a bit late getting started this morning. We are moored in Bodrum, Turkey. Bodrum provided shuttle buses to get you into the centre of town which was great as it was 31 at 10am. We visited Bodrum Castle which had a museum incorporated into the different parts of the castle. It mainly focused on relics and antiquities that have been salvaged from sunken vessels centuries ago. It was extremely well presented with air-conditioning in each separate room.
We could also see from a distance the Bodrum amphitheatre that was built in 400 BC and could accommodate 13,000 spectators. On another hill there were the remains of ancient windmills.
All the houses are painted white which gives the town the real mediterranean vibe.
We spent the afternoon on the boat, went to afternoon where we served tea, sandwiches & cake with a string duo entertaining us, it was very nice.
As part of our package we have 4 meals at the speciality restaurants on board, last night we went to Toscana, an Italian restaurant. We were tired so in bed and sound asleep by 10pm while the boat sailed on towards Rhodes, another Greek Island.Baca lagi
