18 June 2012 Today was a bit odd. For a start the bus to town was 10
minutes late and it took 1 ½ hours to get there. As it was Monday the Museums we wanted to see were closed
and while planning an outing we were hustled into agreeing to take a Tour of
The Bosphorus by Boat. I understood
it was to go as far North as Bekbe and was leaving in a few minutes, and would
take one and a half hours. So we paid our 30 lira
and sat in a mini bus for half and hour. Two minutes later we were delivered to
the boat where we sat for another half and hour. I wanted to see Bekbe as we are planning to stop there when
we leave the Marina tomorrow and I
thought it would be a useful recce.
We the boat didn’t quite make it that far and turned back just when we
were almost close enough to see the anchorage. The trip last 1 ¼ hours not the 1 ½ advertised. I was very pleased. The bus back was 20 minutes late and took
over an hour to get back. I think I’ve had enough of the hustle and bustle of Dome City. We’ll try once more
tomorrow.
