Bodrum, Turkey

Our next stop along the line was Bodrum. Chels had booked us a five bedroom villa with a communal pool with amazing views over the ocean looking straight across at the neighbouring Kos. It was the same nine of us still at this point with the addition of Chris, Jens brother, and his girlfriend, Maria. We all contributed fifty lira to a kitty and did the worlds biggest supermarket shop for the week, the plan being that each bedroom take a turn to cook a dinner for the group. Jen and I cooked green chicken curry which blew everyone's head off. Highlights of Bodrum over the five nights included a day cruise which took us to various swim stops and included lunch, all for 10 euros. That's the advantage of being in a big group, you can bargain everything down. Other than that it was nice just to be able to relax, catch up on some reading, and lie by the pool for hours on end. Overall I would recommend Bodrum as a rest stop. It offers very little in terms of Turkish culture, but everything for relaxation and recuperation.
