      mr whippy on the Aegean sea

      Hari ini, Turki ⋅ 🌙 23 °C

      To our great delight, whilst sailing the seas, music announced the presence of Türkiye’s Mr Whippy equivalent! Quite incredible as this little boat complete with image board and great selection turns up to sell us ice cream. I had a magnum in memory of Trudy and it was 150 turkish lira well spent.Baca lagi

      Camping really late

      8 September 2022, Turki ⋅ 🌙 25 °C

      We left Tepe late and took our time at Pamukkale. Which meant by the time we got to Bodrum it was quite late. We also stopped by the ferry port to check the options for passing to Kos and Rhodos. This meant we had to go into town and into the evening traffic. By the time we got back outside the city it was past 9.

      And so the searrch for campings began. The first one we tried had what seemed at first to be very hospitable hosts. After inviting us to park our motorbike inside, they began showing us around the place. And then came the money talk. The place was 3 times more expensive than the usual ones - the catch was that they included breakfast and dinner. Breakfast was from 9 to 11 am and dinner from 7 to 9am. It was 9.15 when we arrived, so too late for dinner. And our plan was to leave at 7, to catch a ferry. They didn’t want to budge on the price, despite admitting it’s also not possible for us to eat. We left.

      The second camping we went for turned out to be, not a camping. It was a caravan and bungalow park. They insisted in us staying while they tried to figure something out, but it felt dodgy. Eventually they mentioned a friend of theirs has a place nearby where we could pitch the tent. We left.

      The third place we got to was a dead end - perhaps a mistake on my end, as it was really near a beach that mentioned camping on Google, and not a proper camping.

      And then finally, we arrived at the Bodrum EcoFarm Camping and Hostel. The owner was friendly and inviting, we were allowed to pitch the tent near the back of the park, to not disturb the other campers by leaving early. We had tea together and chatted with the other hostel guests for a few minutes. We grabbed dinner and went to bed.

      Bodrum

      20 September 2022, Turki ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C

      Heute morgen lassen wir uns mit dem Wecker aus den Träumen reissen, damit wir den Bus in Richtung Kos Stadt erwischen. Danach gilt es, den Fährhafen zu finden. Wir haben nämlich vor, mit einem Katamaran einen Besuch in Bodrum zu machen. Das Gedränge vor dem Ticketschalter ist gross. Doch wir können Tickets für die Überfahrt ergattern. Dann gilt es, in der langen Schlange vor dem Zoll anzustehen. Natürlich geht's nur bei der anderen Schlange vorwärts, während sich unsere keinen Millimeter bewegt, ja, nicht einmal einen halben. Gefühlte Stunden später werden wir darauf aufmerksam gemacht, dass die Schlange für unser Schiff die andere ist....
      Die geplante Abfahrtszeit ist bereits vorbei und wir stehen immer noch vor dem Zoll. Mit einer 20minütigen Verspätung und mit uns an Bord, legt das Schiff in Richtung Türkei ab. Nach einer relativ kurzen Fahrt heisst es schon wieder anstehen. Der Katamaran entleert sich nur zögerlich, weil natürlich noch eine Passkontrolle ansteht.

      Ancient Theater

      20 September 2022, Turki ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C

      Das Theater von Halikarnassos, wie Bodrum zur Zeit der Griechen hiess, ist gut zu Fuss zu erreichen. Vom Landungssteg herkommend muss aber eine vierspurige, bei unserer Ankunft relativ stark befahrene, Strasse überquert werden. Danach kann man sich im rund 10'000Personen fassenden Theater umsehen. Auch heute finden hier noch diverse Vorstellungen statt.Baca lagi

      Rückweg

      20 September 2022, Turki ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C

      Um nochmaliges langwieriges Anstehen zu umgehen, treffen wir bereits 30 Minuten vor der vereinbarten Zeit beim Pier ein. Bei der Gepäck- und anschliessenden Passkontrolle gehören wir zu den ersten. Dies gilt auch beim anschliessenden Boarding. So gelingt es uns, Plätze gleich beim Ausgang zu ergattern. Die Abfahrt erfolgt planmässig. Die Überfahrt dauert aber wiederum statt der angepriesenen 20, etwas mehr als 30 Minuten. Aber wir haben ja Ferien und sind nicht auf der Flucht...
      100erte Meter, bevor der Katamaran wieder am Pier anlegt, bildet sich vor der Ausgangstüre bereits ein dichtes Gedränge. Ob die Leute zur Quaimauer schwimmen wollen? Wieder bei der Passkontrolle angekommen, stehen noch die letzten Leute von einem früheren Schiff an. Bald sind auch wir an der Reihe und können den Hafen kurz darauf via Zollkontrolle verlassen. Wir müssen nicht befürchten, neuerworbene Fakewaren abgeben zu müssen. Bei einigen unserer Mitpassagiere bin ich mir da aber nicht so sicher. Offenbar sind die kontrollierenden Personen hier aber nicht ganz so bissig oder man kennt sich. Jedenfalls darf unter anderen auch ein neuer Louis Vuitton Rucksack das Gelände unbehelligt verlassen.
      Wir schlendern anschliessend noch durch die schmucke Altstadt von Kos Stadt, bevor wir uns in einem hoffnungslos überfüllten Bus auf den Heimweg machen.
      Das Fazit dieses Ausfluges ist ein Satz mit X; Das war nix. Bodrum ist meines Erachtens höchstens für den Erwerb von Fakewaren von Interesse. (Letzteres dürfte dann auch der heimische Zoll an den Waren haben....) Sehenswertes haben wir in der uns verbliebenen Zeit nicht entdecken können.

      Windmühlen

      20 September 2022, Turki ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C

      Die wunderschön hoch auf einem Hügel gelegenen steinernen Windmühlen aus dem 18. Jahrhundert versetzen Sie zurück in die Zeit, in der die Bauten zur Mehlproduktion verwendet wurden. Sie sind weiß getüncht und bieten Spaziergängern ein tolles Ziel und eine verzaubernde Aussicht auf die Stadt. - Soweit der Werbetext, über welchen man im Internet schnell einmal stolpert. Etwa 30Gehminuten vom Hafen entfernt finden wir die Mühlen tatsächlich. Ins 18. Jahrhundert zurückversetzt fühlen wir uns aber nicht. Dank dem Hügel darf aber die zugige Aussicht auf die beiden Buchten genossen werden. Als "verzaubernd" haben wir diese aber nicht wahr genommen...Baca lagi

      Morning walk and coffee in Bodrum

      9 September 2022, Turki ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C

      We woke up early and left the camping. We abandoned the Kos and Rhodos idea, because we couldn’t find any campings on the map. Instead, we planned to catch a ride to Datca, to not go back on the same road.

      It was early enough for us to take a walk through the marina area before the castle was open. The town itself felt too touristic, and oriented towards partying.
      We tried some new varieties of local cookies with a cup of coffee, while looking out at the sea.

      Bodrum

      25 Oktober 2022, Turki ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C

      I had a really good sleep and it was easy to get up in the morning, which is nice for a change. :) So I wasn't rushed with packing, breakfast, and the checkout and got to the ferry terminal in time. It was a pretty big chaos there actually since multiple ferries were about to depart but all passengers going to Turkey had to pass the same border control check point and were gathered in the same crowded waiting area. Not much fun with a bicycle. 😅 The ferry ride took only 25min but again we had to queue for a check point once we arrived in Bodrum. They let pass without checking luggage or anything at all.
      I then cycled into town and searched for a Turkish simcard. Since prices for the tourist packages vary depending on the shop, I asked around multiple stores and ended up getting a vodafone 25GB/4 weeks free whatsapp usage package for around 17€. The people in the store were super helpful and friendly. Once everything was set up I went to marina for a second breakfast/lunch, I was pretty hungry. I was sharing the bench with a guy, who I eventually asked where I could store my bicycle safely while I'm off sightseeing. Via google translater he recommended me to ask the people working in a supervised parking lot nearby, which turned out to work fine! 😁 I'm usually not into museums that much, but there's an underwater acheologic museum in Bodrum!! That's where I spent the next two hours, looking at 2000 year old sunken wrecks that they've recovered and stuff they found with it! It was certaiy worth the visit. After the museum, I strolled around the bazaar area and got some amazing bakery goods that I'm still trying to find elsewhere again. :D I then picked up my bicycle and cycled to the mausoleums and theater a little outside of Bodrum. The mausoleum is one of the seven old world wonders and it's probably the only one where you can wander around between its remains and actually touch the stones!! It was pretty cool. :) I also met a Brasilian guy there and we talked a little, which was nice.
      Around 7pm I arrived at my couchsurfer's place Onur. He accepted my last minute request the day before since my former couchsurfer got sick. Just after I dropped my stuff, we were almost immediately heading to a batchata/salsa dance class that he's currently taking. It was so much fun and luckily only the second lesson, so it wasn't too hard yet. We were around 9 people and the course was held in Turkish, of course. 😅 Such a fun experience. :)) After the dance class we went to a bar together with the dance class people, where some of them were participating in a darts competition.
      Around 11pm we took a taxi back home, we both had to get up early, Onur for work and me to get out of the building. 😅 It was a really fun time with Onur and his friends and the best first day in Turkey I could have imagined!! 😁

      Bodrum

      20 Julai 2023, Turki ⋅ ☀️ 32 °C

      Arrived at the Turkish port of Bodrum. The ship is moored around 15 minutes walk to the town - a long way back in the 35+ heat. Usual knock off designer stuff everywhere you look in the local shops but a lovey harbour and beach resort.Baca lagi

      Thanks Türkiye, its been real

      30 Ogos 2023, Turki ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C

      We’ve spent the days since our trip to Ephesus just chilling by the pool, having our ears blasted with Turkish EDM at the beach, and catching up on homework.

      We managed to sneak in a third Wonder of the World with the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus ✅🏛️ and a little shopping along the way as well.

      Turns out today is actually Victory Day for the Turkish people with a national holiday, tons of Turkish flags everywhere, and possibly celebrations in town (the tourism staff at the mausoleum weren’t sure… 😳). Lucky we had figured that out else we would have been even more surprised by the show that was put on at the hotel that night!

      Türkiye has been great. So much to see and really lovely people. Such a big country though - we really only seen a tiny bit despite the month here!

      Off to Dubai for tomorrow - time to practice saying hello and thank you on another language again!!
