Hello, from Turkey

We finally have made it out of Italy and we ported at the city of Marmarius Turkey. The port is very hilly all the way down to the water. It is a resort town with a marina full of very large boats.

Our guide todays name was Mulock he said to call him Mike. He took us to the ancient city of Kaunos which was both Roman and Greek. It was a harbor city that is now miles from the sea. The rivers silt has land locked it. Kaunos was on the silk and spice highway coming from the east and did a very busy business until the discovery that the earth was not flat and you could sail to the east much cheaper and faster. Bummer for Kaunos. Turkey is forested and mountainous. The people grow all kinds of citrus fruit and Pomegranates. We ate one on the hike back to the bus. It was very delicious.
