    Tony and I are at Carrum. Sea like a mirror and a pink sunset. Mild. Shouldn't be like this.
    Goodness how many friends have you met along your merry way!? Such fun. And a fellow camper. I can sense a new trend staring here!! K X

Friday 3rd May. Columbus Zoo.

Image
 A leisurely start to the day and off to pick Roarke  up from kinder then, with baby Emma, we headed to the zoo. Kate was there with  her school along with 100s of other school kids. This is almost the  last week of school for the year. We found Kate and her kids were excited to see Emma and Rourke.  Unfortunately Roarke was not happy when she had to leave. Paula and I tried to distract him and eventually the carousel and lunch helped.  I love the mac and cheese, and by this time most school kids had left so the zoo wasn't as crowded.  We saw the flamingos, seals, penguins and gorillas. We finished the day with another carousel ride for me and Roarke this time and a weird ice cream, Dip and dot. Tiny balls of ice cream?? A tad exhausted we dropped back to Kate's and headed into Free Friday in Delaware.  Candy floss and coloured ice meant Roarke was full of beans!! I had a hot dog and lemonade.....squeezed lemons, water and huge amounts of sugar....

Wednesday 1st May. Bike ride along the Kokosing Gap Trail.

Image
 A little sleep in and then after breakfast we headed off in the truck with our 3 bikes in the back. A beautiful  sunny day and we drove for about 50 miles to Kenyon College near Mt Vernon for the start of our bike ride. Once our seats were raised, helmets fitted and deciding to head left rather than right on the trail we headed off. A well maintained trail with wild flowers and a river by our side. 5 miles to Mt Vernon over 2 bridges. We met people along the way to chat to and when we arrived at Mt Vernon we chatted to a marathon trainee.  We headed back to Gambier and checked out the old trains. We drove into the Uni village and had a sandwich at the students Cafe. Lots of wealthy international students attend here and it the 2nd oldest uni in the US.  Love the scenery returning.  Wide open spaces, very green neat grasses and some fields being ploughed.  Time for bed as an early start  to help baby sit Tom and Paula's grandchildren.

Saturday 25th May. Bodrum, drive to harbour, tender to boat The Admiral l

Image
 I'm finally on board and ready for our first ride tomorrow morning. So a delicious  breakfast again and a leisurely wait for my pick up at 2am. I changed a $20 us into Turkish lira which I may need out in the countryside.  My driver was excellent and took me to a very rocky beach where I couldn't  see my boat. Finally we went to another Cove where I could see the Admiral. The guys take your luggage and I manoeuvred into the rubber ducky. And we were off. Not far to the boat, then up the side steps, no time to feel unsure. On board, guys brought up my luggage. Shoes off and no paper in loo. Shown to my cabin 3 and unpacked, settled in and used the throne, the loo, literally up on its own platform, like a throne!! Compact but comfy and very clean. Only 5 others there so me makes 6. A couple from Colorado and 2 sisters from Oz, one lives in Canberra the other in Brisbane.  And Paul also from Oz. All my age or older and great company.  So nice to talk Aussie!!...
