Back to Bodrum

Having sussed out the places we want to take our daughter & her family to next week, we've just been dossing around the area. So very little to report. It looks like we may have difficulty getting into Bodrum marina - but we have nabbed a buoy just outside which seems to be safe enough and free too!
We took a look at Mud Bay on Black Island as we think the idea of getting thoroughly caked in mud will appeal to our grandson mightily. There is a nice little restaurant there which seems to administer the cave with the hot springs being 4TL per person. It has a quay we can go stern to and doesn't seem to be crowded - especially before 11.00. The 'abandoned' hydropathic institute referred to be Heikel is no longer abandoned but is being thoroughly updated with an opening date of 2011. Very friendly workmen - one of whom speaks excellent English. Things will probably then get a lot more formal and expensive.
I'm going to take a weeks holiday from blogging next week will the family is here and we just retrace our steps. So more as we start to explore further south after 27 June.
