Greece/Turkey Trip
Hmmm, let me think… oh yes, just more time on the
beach!
 |
This is the nearest thing we saw that even resembled fireworks today
in celebration of our Country's Independence! |
Hapimag is a German oriented resort and we are
meeting lots of people from Germany and everyone has been so friendly. Several people have asked us why or how
we chose Hapimag. And, the answer
is – it is affiliated with our Travel Club. We have not met anyone thus far from U.S.A.; but, we met a
couple at dinner one evening and the Dad was wearing a t-shirt from Steamboat
Springs. Even with me being very
shy (haa), I did get up the courage to visit with them. ;-) His wife’s
father lives in Boulder, Colorado where she grew up, so obviously her English
was very good! He was from Chile
and they now live in Switzerland.
It is amazing almost everyone we have met speaks English. Lucky for us, it obviously is the
universal language.
Our condo is approximately 150 yards from the beach… we have
exactly 71 steps to descend to get to the main reception and pool area, with maybe another 10 steps down and 50 yards directly to the beach;

| We have a few steps to and from... but we are getting great exercise! |
The main patio is where everything is usually happening each evening, with some activity on the beach! They provide live entertainment or
something going on each day/evening if you desire to participate.
 |
This lounge area is always filled with people at night.
It is also where I do my blogging using the Wi-Fi
as we listen to the music or watch the entertainment. |

| Tonight, they had Greek Dancing |

It also gives us a nice relaxing place to visit with new
friends we have made. We are having a great time, even with all the things that have made us laugh because they didn't go exactly as planned!!!
While the wi-fi is not lighting speed, it is nice to have
something to use… and I have really enjoyed being able to Skype with Ashley and Tully. John is usually
not home from work when we call because of the time difference. The more people logged onto the Internet
…the slower it is, so my best time for blogging or Skyping is late/late night or maybe I
should say early/early morning when everyone is sleeping. Vacation is all about getting to stay
up as late as you want or sleeping in as late as you want.
They have a great little restaurant called “Poseidon Pool
Taverna” where we had lunch today.
 |
Sesame Fish, Greek Salad and Spaghetti. It made more that two meals for us
Nice to have the refrigerator in the room for leftovers. |
Here area a few more pictures of our resort:
