It finally feels Aegean

[dragojustine]

Kas is beautiful. It's strikingly Greek-looking, the first properly Aegean town we've been in, with the white terraced houses and red tile roofs plunging straight down to the sea. Except, of course, for the flags and Turkish signs and all the damn minarets. Apparently they don't have anyone to do the call to prayer here, so all the mosques use a tape-recorded one, and you can clearly hear the cassette player tones. It's funny.

We walked down to arrange the sea kayaking for tomorrow and ate at this fabulous place called Mama's Kitchen, with these huge meat-filled dumpling things.

Finally to the beach, which is actually a steep plunge off barnacle rocks with some slimy ladders. I've never seen a rock-cliff beach like that, but it was cool and wet and refreshing and perfect. Damien is quite the enthusiastic diver, so that was fun.

Back to the pension, which has an absolutely lovely terrace, and, amazingly, free internet.
