The Burial Chamber ???

19 November ’04, Friday. For the last couple of days, we have been to Bodrum twice and the bazaar market once. As far a Bodrum, we were looking for a time table and prices on the ferry from Bodrum to the island of Kos and then on to Rhodes. Well, it just isn’t going to work…. The ferry can handle only 3 cars at a time (and we could be one of those cars) but, we are too high to get on. Right now that only leaves us with one option that know of…drive around and inter Greece at the top and work our way down to Athens and then if time still permits, we will go onto the island of Crete. When this happens, it is good that we have wheels to make the change easier. One of the other reasons for going to Bodrum was to see if we could get new curtains made for “Bumble Bee” now that we have the seats looking great. We happened into a small shop that specializes in drapes and curtains and they just happened to have a perfect fabric in stock and could get right on to the job. In fact, they could have it done by 2pm the next day….well, that was another $120 million lira. So far with the seats, the curtains, and the carpet, we have spent re-doing the interior of “Bumble Bee”…right at $300,000,000 lira or $200 US dollars. We’re happy, so you can be too…. Then yesterday we finished the day off by going to the Thursday Market/Bazaar in Yalikavak. It is amazing the prices that we can get fresh fruit and vegetables for. Just about every thing we bought was 1 million lira ( 33 cents ). 4 baking potatoes, head of romaine, head of broccoli, 4 apples, and on…each group was 1 million. 2 loaves of fresh baked bread white or whole wheat…600 lira ( 18 cents +-). Fresh meat and fish are on the other hand kind of expensive…a nice cut of prime beef (similar to new york) are 15 million a kilo ($10 US). This one meat market we have been going to (Bonnie close your eyes during this segment) really does have some wonderful meats…beef, chicken, turkey, goat, and lamb. Then this morning we went for a real nice walk on the other side of the bay from Yalikavak. We look directly over there from our living room and deck and it has just been asking us to come visit. Well this morning we did. The whole area isn’t developed and the roadway dropped off to trails. These ran up the side of the highest hills and also followed around just off the shore. The little native flowers were blooming and it looks like a lot more to come. We were right next to one of the areas that burned the other day. Thank God it didn’t happen when it was windy, as what we saw, it only burned about 10 to 12 acres before burning it’s self out. We did find some interesting rock “flows”. One of the areas were there was a flow we found a “Burial Chamber” carved into it. The large rectangular rock that was used as the door was laid in front of the chamber (see picture above). This was one of 3 caves or chambers that we saw on today’s hike. After lunch we went in to get the curtains and they look great. I’ll get pictures on the web-site later.
