Mamure Castle



 Ended today on a proper campsite right next to this brilliant castle. We wandered down the beach and then entered through a hole in the wall. After 45 mins or so of wandering about we came across the "official entrance" and met two lovely guys. The gardener & ticket man who proceeded to insist we fill in the visitors book despite the fact we hadnt paid as we had no  money on us and made us mint tea (2 cups) and then gave us info on the castle and the turtles which come up the beach this time of year to lay eggs. Brilliant this has to be the best attraction yet for kindness of the people and the castle itself should not be missed if if your ever near it is huge and you can wander freely in and out the walls and up all the towers, through the corridors. The health and safety department clearly havent been here yet, great!

There are a load of fresh water turtles who live in the moat around it and seemed to be fond of strawberries

Turkish trucks and buses are very fond of these chariot style wheel ripper bits. Dont cut them up in traffic!
