After Paragliding and a short nap, we packed ourselves up yet again and were taken into Fethiye to be introduced to the Crusie suppliers. After that we were doing a short day cruise. We got on our boat and cruised around, we had lunch on board, again, traditional Turkish food.
I spotted a water slide off on the shore and Paul and I jumped over board and swam to it.We got to it and the staircase was completely rusted and the slide was out of operation. It was on of those yellow tube slides, I decided to climb up to the top of it and then crawl down the tube. When I popped out at the bottom I could hear everyone on the boat laughing at me. Paul and I swam back to the boat and drank beer and sun baked on the deck until we pulled in to Fethiye.
Burak then gave us a quick tour of the town, which involved us going and looking through the bazaar for a bit where I bought a small magnetic chess set.We then grabbed all our stuff to get onto our overnight cruise on a Gulet, a traditonal Turkish Sail boat. We boarded our boat and were all given cabins, I got one to myself, it was so tiny and the toilet has a pump attached to it....not sure about that!
On the way out we managed to see Lycian tombs carved into the cliff above the town. We had dinner on board and then lounged around on deck until the late hours. Cruiseing the Mediterreanean just rocks, by the way. Nigel and I were last awake again, Nigel was playing the captain at backgammon and he actually managed to beat him, I think he may have been a little put out, but he took it well.After Nigel had beaten th Captain at Backgammon, we decided to play chess, with my newly acquire chess set. I'm a little annoyed to say I couldn't beat Nigel, although I must admit I was a little distracted.
Its the thing to do to sleep on deck on a gulet, so Nigel and I dragged our blankets and pillows out to the back of the boat and curled up on the big cushion under the stars. I'd always wanted to do that and its another thing crossed off the list and bingo, I didn't have to do it by myself either, which was a nice added bonus.
