Knidos
In Knidos we went into a prosperous dock with a restaurant there. At first we thought that if we went into the dock we had to eat at the restaurant which would be extremly expensive because all they had to eat there was fish and it was 70$ per kilo and you pay for the whole fish head and all, but after we asked they said we didn't. We could just pay for the dock and not eat in the expensive restaurant. While there we found ice cream that was only 25cents, which is the cheapest that we have seen anywhere. Also when we were there we found out that it was the home of the first completly nude woman statue of Aphrodite or any other woman. Finally we went to bed after having dinner on the boat.

Selimiye

| The restaurant where we first docked in Selimiye. |
Then the next morning we went a long way and got to Selimiye, When we first got there and tried to go to the dock the dock was full so we had to go to a restaurant's dock. We stayed at the restaurant dock for 3 days, and the only thing we did was swim. Then on the 4th day we saw a open spot on the town dock so we went ahead and got in.

| Man with gold teeth. That is his restaurant beneath the maroon umbrella. |
While at the town dock we met a man with a whole front row of gold teeth.
 |
| At the restaurant dock we could swim right at back of our boat. That water is much deeper than it looks. |
On the first day at the dock we ate at the gold tooth man's restaurant and had a delicious shrimp casserole and an equaly good beef casserole. That was the only time we ate at his restaraunt. We just stayed at the dock and did almost nothing accept me going kayaking every once and a while.
 |
| At night the restaurant put tables on all the dock area. They needed more room to serve all the customers. Really busy place. |

When at Selimiye we found the holy bakery store. It had the best white bread I have had anywhere and at the cheapest prices. We stayed a really enjoyed this place for 9 whole days which broke the new record of being compltely lazy on a boat.
Serce
On the 10th day at Selimiye we left and went to Serce. On the way to Serce we decided to fish which proved to be a fatal mistake. While motoring we came close to a French charter boat that suddenly tacked just as Papa turned to go behind them and they fingured us and cursed at us. I didn't know what was happening so I waved at the people finguring me. Then me and Papa got a good laugh out of something, and that something was that a few seconds later the fishing pole was ringing and it was going out really fast... too fast....so fast that all of the line went off. Then a few minutes later I saw the French boat completely stop so I think the line got caught on the propeller on the French boat.... MUAHAHAHA! Then some time after the incident we found a perfectly good fender in the water and picked it out of the water. Then soon after we arrived at Serce. At Serce we swam and had dinner and after I read which was pretty late and everyone else was asleep. It was so hot that that I had to get a cold pack out of the freezer to put on my chest and neck just so I could go to sleep.
A Bay Near Marmaris
 |
| When we sail Tutu usually drives. But Papa was driving when the French charter boat turned when they shouldn't have. |
We woke up early this morning and had a dificult time getting the stern line untied, but we did it. Then when we tried to sail it only worked for about 20minutes then we had to motor for the rest of the way because there was no wind. Then when we got near Marmaris we decided to go to a small bay near Marmaris. Soon after arriving I decided to get into the water.While in the water I found a hat and decided to keep it,. Then after several arguments between BeBe and Tutu about having to do her blog we had dinner and went to sleep. The next morning we docked in the marina to wait for BeBe's family to arrive in the middle of the night.
