Back to the Beach

Back in Turkey...we took another trip to the beach yesterday. This was our second trip to the beach thus far. Danielle opted out of this trip and stayed home to sleep. We went with two other families. We drove just beyond Kizkalesi to the Alton Orofz Otel (hotel); this was approx. a 1 1/2 hour drive. The only downside is there wasn't any sand. We still had a great time though.

Pals (Savannah, Thomas, Dallon, Ricky)

We chartered a boat for an hour. Here it comes.

All aboard

We stopped at a little cove and swam for a little while. Savannah jumping off the plank.

Kylie on the boat. She also swam in the sea, but we didn't get any pictures. Darn it.

When we arrived at the hotel, we gave our vehicle keys to the attendant. They parked our vehicles and had the keys waiting in the lobby for us when we were ready to leave. As we exit the hotel, we came upon this tiny parking lot that is jam-packed full of cars. The attendant said it'd be 10 minutes before he could bring our vehicles to us. I don't know where our vehicles were parked, but it certainly would have been more than 10 minutes if our vehicles were parked among this mess.

Here's a pic of the hotel (along with another shot of the cars in the parking lot).
We had a good time. I think we'll try to go to the beach one more time before school starts.
