Bodrum & Etrim Village

Day 8 - After a typical Turkish breakfast of boiled egg, olives, cream cheese, cucumber, tomatoes, bread & chai, it is off to see the sites.
Bodrum is wonderfully layed out above the bay and is a bit like the Rivera of France. All white houses that look like Mediterranean sugar cubes.
Monday Apr 13th. The best made plans sometimes fail! We were going to visit the castle and museum in Bodrum, but they are closed on Monday's!!
So what to do? We are offered a free trip to a small village 1/2hr from Bodrum!
A free trip you say?

We visit this wonderful village and this old house it may be as old as 250yrs. Depending on who you believe Grandpa or Grandma.
Grandma & Grandma Jan learning to make carpet. Of course the free trip is to a carpet shop, but Engin our guide surprises us with some great quality carpets & kilims. These carpets & kilims are the best priced in Turkey by about 30%.
