Hugo and I are in Bodrum. We went to a crummy pansyon (Mylasa) for one night, didn't like it, and decided to switch today. Much better. Hugo woke up with a doozie of a cold this morning and then he twisted and put his back out. The weather is not so warm, but also not so cold - it is very windy today, though! Still, we decided to go up to see the castle. We really enjoyed it a lot. A very nice day.
The castle is the Castle of St. Peter and a showplace of medieval military architecture. It has five turrets named after the homelands of the knights (England, France, Germany, Italy and Spain). Inside the castle walls there is also a Museum of Underwater Archaeology that displays items found in shipwrecks in the area.
The wind was blowing hard through the masts of the yachts and making a very weird sound - maybe that's why there are so many ghost stories about haunted boats.
