Over the mountains and through the woods…to a dead end….
Sunday we went off for a day trip from Marmaris to Bozburun but didn’t quite make it to Bozburun as you can probably gather from the title. We had a lovely day getting ourselves lost betwee…

Curious, but shy iguana
Iguanas run around wild on the lawns here on the island. This big fellow hung around on the dock where we tied up our dinghy. Meanwhile some of his cousins had claimed one of the sailboats, making it their lounge pad. If you chase them, be surprise…
June 1 – Campbell River
