Bodrum Castle

Thursday  2 May (Day 9)

Sorry about the infrequent updates but I can only get a wifi signal if I sit outside the owner’s house in the pitch darkness.  I have to contend with mopeds, scooters, cats pawing at me and stray dogs looking at me warily.  The things I do for my readers!

After all the recent travelling we had a lazy morning before going to visit Bodrum Castle.  The castle, which is now the home of the Underwater Archaeological  Museum  contained plenty of shipwrecked boats recovered from the seabed in the local area.  Tracey had been recommended to visit it by Dr Andrew Shortland a forensic archaeologist at Cranfield University and it did not disappoint.

Friday 3 May (Day 10)

Bought tickets this morning for our ferry crossing to Kos.  From Kos we have to get on another ferry to Patmos. 

We have hopefully booked accommodation near the main town of Skala with a woman called Irene.  I say hopefully because there has been a lot of confusing email traffic between us about the availability of the room and the times of the ferry.  This weekend is Easter time in Greece so the island of Patmos is likely to be quite busy.
