What a lovely place. Just a few miles off Kusadasi, Turkey actually. We went ashore and had a fabulous swim - real idyllic lazy slow paced place. Hoppy has a photo of me waving from the deep blue sea, with the ship in the background. Kids himself I've been thrown overboard!! We sat around, took pictures of an original statue of Liberty - mush softer than the New York one; wandered down town and checked out the alley behind the main street. Looks like they're struggling a bit here. Had an iced coffee and chose expresso - wrong. I should have chosen nescafe and we would have got milk with it. But we survived; didn't feel sleepy for hours. Hoppy got snarled at for giving a kid a fifty cent euro; I made the mistake of giving him E2 - all smiles for me but then his brother popped up beside us. We had to retreat to the inside of the cafe for some peace. Saw someone who looked like he slept on the street, wandering through the cafe; you know the footpath goes through and separates the outside tables from the inside ones; as he wandered through he saw a glass of water half drunk so calmly picked it up and emptied it before ambling off again!This is Greece's third largest island with a populationof 90.000. Could have stayed but off we go again.
The Rumour mill. There have been three deaths since leaving Sydney.
There actually was two explosions on board about mid night. We didn't hear it but the Captain come on telling everyone all was OK. Apparently it was a boiler.
Quite a few people - five that I positively know of - have left the ship for various ailments and gone back home. We're still hanging in and feeling G R E A T.
