SAILING WITH ROY AND JACKIE

7TH TO 12TH JUNE BODRUM Bodrum is an extraordinary mixture - old and new, east and west, touristy but historic. St Peter's castle is magnificent and the museum (which we visited on Roy and jackie's first day with us) was a wonderful surprise with relics from some of the oldest shipwrecks found anywhere in the world and a great section on coins from ancient times - interesting to see how even 2,500 years ago inflation was a problem and the attempts of one Roman governor at price controls - not sure the world has advanced as much as we like to think. Its a pity that little remains of the ancient city of Halicarnassus and the famous tomb of Mausolos although I understand many of the stones are incorporated in the Knight's castle. Anyway we had a very enjoyable few days there before setting off for Marmaris/Gocek.
