Yesterday was a very long day and I didn't blog. We had our luggage down by 6:10 AM, breakfast, bus to the ferry. Boarded the ferry and left Greece by 8:00 AM . Arrived in Marmaris, Turkey around 10 AM. Our new guide is Ardos. The bus left the harbor and started up the mountains. Stopped at Euromous the temple of Zeus. Continued through agricultural areas with corn, hay, wheat, lots of fruit trees, vegetable gardens, melons, citrus, cotton, cows, sheep, goats. Looks like more rainfall than Greece. Lunch at Didyma---splendid variety of vegetables, fish complete with skin, head, and tail. Also fresh figs for dessert. Visited the Temple of Apollo. It was huge. Back on the road to Kusadasi. Visited the home (now a chapel) of Mother Mary -where she lived until she died. Finally arrived at our hotel = 8 pm. We were all tired and grouchy. The hotel is very large. The dining room is huge with the longest buffet line you can imagine--not a good scene for weary travelers. We are right on the shore of the Aegean Sea.
