Day 115 – Are we in Turkey or England?

Bodrum to Fethiye - Hotel Oykun

We were very impressed with the Pamukkale bus we took to get to Fethiye – wireless internet, usb point and ice cream – what more could you want!

Fethiye has been quite a surprise – it’s very similar to Goa, in that the place is full of English people, who have taken advantage of cheap air fares and direct flights, we’re pretty sure we’re the only non-UK people at our hotel. The pool area was a bit of a shock - some of the elderly, “plump” ladies are enjoying their topless sunbaking – as we said, Goa all over again!

The beachside has a huge promenade with lots of restaurants, hotels and travel agents. As the Greek island of Rhodes is quite close (about a 90 minute fast ferry ride), we booked a ferry trip for the next day. However when we arrived back from dinner a message had been left to say that the trip had been cancelled – apparently due to expected bad conditions.
