We arrived here on Tuesday evening and were given a
super berth on the north west wall very near to a restaurant called
Marinadeniz.
There is a small shower and toilet block close by
and we have power and water on tap.
Having got all the electrical problems sorted we
decided to stay another day to explore the town and visit the (reputably)
excellent
fresh produce market held on Friday morning.
So we duly walked there this morning and is was fantastic - probably the
biggest
open market I have ever seen. We bought some
delicious strawberries (had some for lunch) as well as other fresh produce for
our stores
unfortunately we didn't have much room in the
'fridge so I had to restrict my purchasing. Also managed to sort out a Turkish
sim card for one of the phones
so will now be able to use this for local calls and
save a few pennies! On the way back we took a short cut through some back
streets and found a small local bakery
where we watched the bread being taken out of huge
oven in the wall (a bit like a pizza oven) - needless to say we bought a
loaf.
We checked out the price of fuel en route to the
market and our advice from Steve and Chris on
board Scott Free was correct -
diesel is more expensive here than in Greece even
taking into account the price rise in Greece this year. We are glad we stocked
up in Samos and even filled all our fuel
cans.
Another advantage of this place is the good free
WIFI connection - with our booster ariel we can use the internet sitting on the
boat!
Tomorrow we will be heading north for the coast
that runs west east from Chios to Sigacik. We hope to get some fair weather for
a couple of nights at anchor
and maybe a swim?! Today is calm and hot with wall
to wall blue skies and the temperature is 24 degrees C.
