Boats

We were on boats for a good bit of our trip - at least 25% of the time if not 30%. Let's recount:

Boat Trip #1 - a 4 hour trip down the Bosphorus. The Boshporus is a straight between the European and Asian sides of Turkey.



Boat Trip #2 - a week long blue cruise on a Turkish gulet. So many stories from the boat.










Boat Trip #3 - a 2 hour hydrofoil ride from Fethiye to Rhodes. No pictures here. It was REALLY early in the morning, so we just slept.

Boat Trip #4 - an overnight ferry from Rhodes to Santorini (7 hours). We stayed up late at the bar. We managed to meet someone who talked more than Hallie.



Boat Trip #5 - a ferry from Santorini to Athens (4 hours). No pictures. There may have been a few hangovers and it was a rough ride. Here is a shot of us crammed into the car on the way to the ferry.



Boat Trip #6 - a soothing sailboat ride in Barcelona (2 hours)

We`re off to a boat!

Today we leave for our boat trip in southern Turkey, so this might be the last blog for a week. Istanbul has been great. I think the motto of this country ıs "why not?" That´s what we hear everywhere. People are very friendly and ıt´s very comfortable here, just like any other European city.

There are many more taıls to share (Turkısh bath, old men yelling at our drunk group on the street, carpet shopping, tour guides, etc), but days are so full ıt ıs really hard to keep up. We´ll try to do better.
