Have to say I doubt anybody has been tiptoeing around waiting for the next update but regardless, completing things we start should always be a missing. So here I am.. Gonna try and wrap it up.
I suppose without looking back and reading through stuff "Kos" is the next pit stop on the journey.
If memory serves me correct it was another early morning, but I think we got one hour extra sleep than the trip to Pamukkale - not that it mattered much since we usually crashed in the morning hours.
As last time we waited up by the hotel where a mini cab would pick us and others up. Several hotel stops picking up mostly Russian speaking people, before we were at the final stop getting our tickets. There seemed to be two lines one for the ferry (that we apparently were taking) and the other line that were a couple feet away were for the fast ride. The fast ride should take about 20 min over one way, while the ferry usually takes about an hour one way.
As the Scandinavians we are (or I should say in this case 'I am') when we saw we were going through the custom I went into the bathroom and poured out the liquid I had brought with me just in case. In general if you are traveling abroad and you have anything liquid with you in your backpack it will be thrown away before you can enter. Although I can't really say if the same rule applies when it comes to cruises, ferries etc, but when traveling by airplane it does.
To my surprise all the people carrying with them something to drink and such got to go through. So I was like "Bugger!" I just threw away my drink for nothing. Hehe. I took a snapshot when getting close to the borderline, only to have a guard telling me to put my cellphone down.
When we got to the duty free shop I couldn't resist buying some flip flops they had there. Purple ones from Nike. Although I suppose I can not say 100% sure that even there I feel secure that it actually is the REAL brand. Then it was time to go to the ferry that would bring us over there.
Took a snapshot of the surroundings (Bodrum). You can see the tip of the speedboat the people next to us took over. Have to say if I will travel to Kos again, next time I am taking that one.
Welcome to Greece (Kos)!
I can't remember how many hours we got to stay to do some sightseeing, eating and shopping. But it was more than enough. We hadn't really planned what to look around for or anything, but we all got a little map on the ferry so we could see what was worth seeing when we got there. I of course also had to have a proper Greek Gyro before we left.
Above me from the panorama picture I took you can see a building on the left, the picture below is taken through one of the bar-window from it so you get a sneak peak look at what's inside. Looks beautiful doesn't it?
They clean your feet and then feed your feet to the fishes.. Meaning they are having a feast of your dead skin. It doesn't hurt well unless you have a wound that they are picking skin off then it might feel a bit unpleasant. I think we sat there for about 30 min, people were walking by and looking in asking us how it felt etc. Even ran into a few people stopping us along the way remembering us from there which I have to say I didn't pay attention to at all - as I can sometime feel a bit awkward with getting unwanted attention.
If you are there for shopping- imitation items, I'd suggest checking out the different market days in Turkey and taking the ferry or boat over to Bodrum and go from there. Not sure how the custom is regarding that - so maybe check out that as well before making that decision.
The road was the first thing we saw when coming out of from ferry area.
The castle (which also you could see with the Greece flag when arriving) seemed to be a museum. They charged you a couple of euro's to get in. We only popped our heads in and decided to go looking elsewhere.
Below here you see the entrance to it.
Before stepping over the bridge, there were one canon on each side.
Took a snapshot over the entrance.
And here you get to see two of the snapshots I took when sneaking our heads in.When thinking about it, I am sure getting some views shots of some of the down town surroundings will be possible from here. But can't say for sure as we didn't go in.
Here are some of the surroundings around the area starting from the bridge (both sides).
Here we found ourselves heading into the middle of town again.to the area where
you can pick where you want to eat.
. 
This place sorta pulled me in for some reason. Perhaps the cat lover within me. Hehe.
Just look at them..
That being said, don't be surprised if you get a few cats around you when eating out.
At the end we still hadn't found one thing on the map that I was nosy about.. But I am not really sure we did find it. Hehe. We took the green train (it was suppose to be shorter) in hope to see what we had missed. But no. So I urged for one quick walk around before some more souvenir shopping was made by my side-kick and us walking slowly back to the ferry area while taking some last snapshots.
I think if I ever were to go back it most likely be for a vacation with more or less laying on the beach for a couple days, then head over to the apartment in Turkey. Doubt I'd take just a day trip for sight seeing like that again. Although I do want to try the day trip to Rhodos at some point.
