After a rather
tortuous journey, the boys were eventually found sitting on the steps of
the memorial to the sponge-divers on the town quay in Marmaris. Already
two hours later than expected because their flight was delayed, they
had asked to be dropped off at Yacht Marine, which is the name of our
marina, and the driver helpfully dropped them off beside a sign saying 'yacht
marine' in the middle of town! It was, in fact, where the charter yachts
and gulets pick up their customers. There then followed a flurry of text
messages (phone calls didn't seem to connect which made things even more
frustrating) as we tried to ascertain where, exactly, in Marmaris they
were. We made our way to town by Dolmus bus, but it wasn't until
James sent a text saying that they were near a 'statue of some woman, near some
motorbikes', that we finally knew where to find them.
It was great to see
them, and they were soon settled onto the boat. Dinner in the marina
restaurant was followed by a very early night as they were totally
exhausted!
