Plan B worked. We
awoke to a clear sky (well, Phyllis was up briefly around 6 a.m. and thought she
saw and heard rain, but it might have been a nightmare). We took our picnic and
some beer and some
reading material and drove off to inspect the three separate little beaches
that were said to exist on the south side of this peninsula. The first was too developed (if you can call
a town of maybe 1,000 developed) but the next one we found was perfect. Craig did not get to swim, the water was
still too cold, but we sat in the sun and thoroughly enjoyed our extra day
here. And, as a
bonus, we got our laundry
washed at the local laundromat for 10 Turkish lira (about $5.50). A bargain at any price. We are now ready to start back towards
Istanbul with less than a week left on our Turkey adventure.
Sun and sand!
