Last night we witnessed a really red sunset which we took to be a good sign and true enough today has been really hot.
Have we done much today? In a matter of words….NO. With about 70% of the other passengers getting off to do one thing or another but we have again used the hotel facilities of the ship without the hustle and bustle of the crowds. Most people going to Ephesus which we enjoyed doing a few years back and rest seemingly happy just to wander round the local bars and bazaar’s in the port area which is what I did for about an hour mid afternoon. Big business here are the counterfeit goods that Turkey seems to produce in abundance, I was quite interested in how much they are now charging for the counterfeit watches which are getting nearer in price now to the originals!
While off the ship I seized the chance to take a few photos of the other ships in with us today, they were the Regent Seven Seas Mariner, Thomson Celebration and the Serenade of the Seas. The one below is taken looking across the decks with all the funnels in line.
We have had a wonderful day just doing very little and will miss this when we are back at work next week. Just to be on a ship somewhere nice and warm really is exactly what we enjoy. If there is something of real interest then we will go take look but to be honest we don’t really need it.
