Started late as we
all had a lie-in, then Steve and the boys went over to the bar to watch the
Grand Prix. "Not the most exciting race, but a good result as Hamilton
won" was the verdict upon their return.
We then went to the
swimming pool for a few hours - and Tom even got in the water! Here the
competitive spirit resumed as the three 'boys' raced the length of the
pool. Steve was given a headstart, and put up a good fight, but
still came in last!

Lunch was a
typically English affair of beer and chips by the pool, and was followed by some
lounging around on sunbeds catching some rays before heading back to the damp
and cold of England.
Later we caught the
Dolmus into Marmaris. This is an experience in itself, and this particular
driver obviously either had a death wish or was blissfully unaware of the
proximity of the bus tyres to the cliff edge. We made it safely to town,
however, and spent a few hours wandering around and taking in the sights - one
of the viewpoints was from a bar on the top of someone's
house!

Then it was time for
our last meal together and we stopped at a restaurant we knew on the way back to
the boat. James and Steve ordered Ottoman kebabs, and when the first one
came we thought it was for them both - then a second arrived! They are
served in a large metal dish over a flame, and each was enough for two people,
although neither Steve nor James left very much!
Tom discovered that
the 'green bean' in the salad was, in fact, a chilli!
Then back on the
Dolmus again and back to the boat for coffee and nightcaps.
