Kayakoy/Oludeniz

Good Morning/ afternoon;
What a lovely relaxing day we have had. A 10am start was appreciated, so no rush or bother. Woke up to find ourselves in Hardy' bay.
OK so its not, but it did remind us of there.
So onto the bus where we passed through "little England". An area where expats have retired too. Of course we changed it to Little Brittan. Then we went to the modern remains of Kayakoy. Many Greek decedents were moved from here during hostilities between the two countries, and now all that remains is an almost ghost town.
It was quite funny because when we were there there were these men dressed in a weird battle dress. Small tusks crossed their chests and skull helmets with big swords, asking for 5 lire for photos. We though they we in traditional battle dress from who knows when, so we asked our guide which period they were from. He looked at all of us strangely. 5 Lire you say, yes we answered, They are shooting a Bollywood film in the ruins so don't pay them as they are only extras. Some other tourists did and as soon as he got the money, he shot us to the cafe for a coffee.
Anyhow back onto the bus for Oludeniz, all we were told was that its a beach.
The water was just great and the pic doesn't do the colours justice. We had a swim then headed to a restaurant for a couple of drinks and some Pide. Leann and the girls headed into town for some sightseeing (SHOPPING) while us boys closed ranks at the bar. We had another quick dip before the shoppers, sorry sightseers returned. Then back to Fethlye.
Dinner with a few more drinks, then nighty night. Tomorrow we lose half of our group as they are on a boat for 3 nights and we meet up in Kas, that's our next stop for 3 nights also.
Stay tuned for more, not much more as it quickly coming to an end.
Noel & Leanne. xxxx
