Red Lobster

Today was a down day, and even though it wasn’t particularly warm, the sun was out and we took full advantage by parking ourselves in a beach chair and doing a whole lot of nothing. Clouds came and went with enough frequency for me to convince myself there was no need to dip into out small stash of sunscreen, and by midday, I was rewarded with the somewhat inexplicable combination of lobster skin on my left arm and right leg. This development was soon followed by the annual lobster migration, as they make their way from the beach to the nearest pharmacy for aloe gel.

Otherwise, not much to report. We did a little wandering around town and picked up some information on tours and car rentals for the coming days. We also spent a fair amount of time debating where to go once our time here is complete. Being sun starved up to today, we have debated the merits of going to Cyprus (about a 90 minute flight) or Rhodes (two hours on a ferry). Ultimately, after studying the forecast, I think we have settled on sticking to the original plan and moving down to Antalya, albeit a little sooner than expected.
