Bodrum is a thoroughly enchanting town. The core of which is a beautiful complete castle build by that band of knights of St John. Evidently they set up a branch office here in Turkey from Rhodes. Now the castle contains treasures from the ocean. A museum that has collected vases, glass pieces, anchors, dishes and other artifacts from the unfortunate demise of sunken ships. We roamed around the grounds accompanied by a couple of strutting peacocks. This is a stopping point definitely worth checking out. I finally figured how those vases with the pointed bottoms worked. They store them together in the hull of the ships interlocking and nesting them together. Since they are mostly used for transporting, it is not necessary to set them on a table. It is more like tiny container boxes of centuries past. We anchored out and slept to the beating of the local discos into the night.
