Not Bored with Bodrum Yet

The winds pick up again and we are flying toward Bodrum. We spend a couple of days there working out internet for the boat. Yeah! The winds are quite gusty so we decide to spend the night in the marina. We ride our bikes through the city getting some errands done and revisiting some of the highlights. Then we are off again to the well-protected bay of Knidos. This was once one of the Dorian Hexapolis, the six cities of the Dorian confederacy. Roman ruins scatter all around the bay. You can see the skeleton of the once grand city homes and public buildings peaking through the soil. The big theater is still very easily recognized. Before the sun dropped, I dove off the boat and enjoyed swimming around in the waters so clear you can easily see to the bottom.
