      Thanks Türkiye, its been real

      August 30, 2023 in Turkey ⋅ ☀️ 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!!

      Beach days Bodrum

      August 29, 2023 in Turkey ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C

      Today I went to the beach. The water was really nice. We went out to the rope and Dad spiked his bottom on the barnacles on the bottom of the floaty thing. Once we went back we saw a swing in the water. It didn’t swing very well because it was in the water but it was still fun. After we got back we laid down on the sun beds which weren’t in the sun. It wasn’t that relaxing because the music was blasting right next to us. We got some drinks. I got a virgin mojito. It was really good. It tasted like mint lemonade. After our drink we packed up and went shopping. I bought a dream catcher. Then we went back to the hotel and jumped into the pool. Then we had a shower and we went to dinner. After dinner we watched a couple of episodes of friends and the we went straight to sleep. It was a good day. By Ariah

      ⛱️Bodrum⛱️Blue skies☀️Blue seas. An insane number of beach clubs complete with on-beach jacuzzis, gogo dancers, hookah smoking and oiled men. It was intense but managed to chill for a few days before the next leg of our journey. By mum.

      Ab nach Bodrum bei stürmigen Wetter

      January 11, 2023 in Turkey ⋅ 🌧 15 °C

      Die Nacht war alles andere als ruhig, aber wir haben sie gut überstanden. Heute ist aber nochmals viel Regen angesagt. So fahren wir möglichst bald nach unserem Frühstück zu Fatih und seiner Familie, wo wir ein paar Tage bleiben werden. Die nächsten Tage sehen nicht so super schön aus, viel Regen und Sturm und Fatih freut sich, seinen alten Freund Harald wieder zu sehen.

      Wir werden von Nathalia, seiner Frau, wieder herzlich empfangen. Die Familie ist so herzlich und wohnen echt schön. Vieles, was auf den Tisch kommt, kommt aus dem eigenen Garten. Das ist absolut meins! 😊
