Today we woke to a shining sun. We organised and packed our bags in preparation for the travel back to Istanbul.
During our last bit of shopping, we ran into what we think is the only mean person in turkey. The shop owner did not like that we asked to pick out our things in his shop and then talk price. When it was time to talk price, he gave a price and we countered that price; as usual haggling goes. He didn't counter again and just became angry. We walked out of his shop and he cursed at us on the way out. His neighbour got our business; not only because of the vicinity of his shop but he also had what we wanted at a price we wanted.
Next we hit the beach for a few hours before taking a taxi, a 3 hour bus, another taxi, a plane and then a very unplanned and expensive 2 hour taxi back to our hotel in Istanbul; arriving at 1am.
