We were met by a driver to take us to our apartment which was in the direction of Bodrum, Ali Baba he said was his name, he spoke a little French and so we got in the car and conversed a little...
The apartment was on top of a hill leading down to a bay overlooking the Adriatic, great little spot https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/1103776
We had our own private beach and bar/restaurant and a beautiful bay with clear warm water to swim... perfect!! So our driver from the airport turned out to be our neighbour and the father of our host... He and his wife invited us for dinner, which consisted of olives, cheese, yoghurt and bread, all a staple part of Turkish cosine. Turkish people up till now have been super friendly and welcoming, I have spent the last week listening to Turkish courses trying to learn a little... at first listening the words are very different from any Latin based language but with a bit of perseverance i have learnt a few words and phrases and the locals really appreciate it, most speak some English but not all, in fact we have found many people speak French rather than English...
The apartment had beautiful sunsets every night accompanied by a strong wind as the sunset and the land started to cool.
After four days we are on to our next destination Bodrum Eco Farm, where we will stay and volunteer, lets see what this new challenge and adventure holds in store for us...
beautiful story :)
