Survival of the fittest in Olympos

Ok, got off the gulet 2 days ago, and only managed to get on to the super-hi web now via a 2400 baud commodore 64 modem. Needless to say that there won't be any uploading of pics today.

Anyway, the trip aboard the goodship SS StraightToTheBottom, was relatively uneventful except for the first 24 hours when hurricane Mustafa hit the Med and we experienced 3-4 metre swells. Much spewing was done by most, except me and crew (Captain Snooze, Jenks and the Apprentice). We survived to continue lots of lazing around on the bost, and jumping off large sharp rocks.

First night back on shore was spent at Kadirs Treehouse hostel in Olympos (not Olympus in Greece...der)...sounds intriguing but in fact is the most expensive overpriced, crappy hostels we've stayed in todate. If you find sleeping in a boiling hot cubby built by 5 year olds, whilst listening to hardcore trance music til 4.30am fantastic then this is the place for you. Bad. We are now staying at Bayams just up the road. Good.

Heard about the London bombings, we have BBC World here. Pretty scary considering 3 weeks ago i would have been changing lines at Kings Cross myself...
We were on the beach yesterday and a Turkish news crew came up to us for an interview because we lived in London. We didn't manage to catch it on the news last night, but i'm sure we were fantastic.

Today i went down the beach, and i jumped off a big rock and cut my foot. This will bring to mind the infamous incident of '99 where i jumped a couple of metres off a cliff onto oysters requiring an emergency dash to the hospital and several stitches (video available on request). Oh the hilarity. Anyway this is no where near as bad but it definately stings...a lot.

Tomorrow we're off for a spot of cayoning...hopefully there will more rocks to jump off, but less oysters.

Keep the comments coming i enjoy reading them.
