I forgot something in the last post...hard to believe I know, that thing was like a short story...so you get two in one day.
All throughout our trip the locals have been welcoming and helpful but the guy on our bus from Fethiye to Kas gets points for the most persistent. If you remember from a few posts back, Josh's evaluation of the bus companies we take is solely based on whether or not they give out cakes. Our bus ride to Kas was only supposed to be a couple hours which usually means you may get some water, if you're lucky some tea. When the guy...I'm not sure what to call him, the bigger buses all have one or two guys whose job is to give out drinks and get your bags out from under the bus when you get to your stop...came by with his little cart Josh got some coke and I got some juice. Then he said tea or coffee? He said it like it was a question but when we said no he poured the hot water anyway. Two drinks wasn't too bad but a few minutes later he was back with bottled water. He proceeded to hold it up with a questioning look on his face but again when we said no we got a cup of water anyway. His generosity had convinced Josh that either we were also getting cakes, or he was having fun filling the tourists up with drinks when there was no bathroom on the bus. The trip ended with no cakes so either he was having a little fun...he did have a silly grin on his face everytime he poured a drink we hadn't really wanted...or we must have looked really thirsty and just didn't realize it.
