Pirate Boat

A few days ago I went on a pirate boat. That may sound completely silly and fake, and it's true, I did not go on a real pirate boat. I went on a pirate-themed boat that went around the peninsula jutting out of Alanya. In the summer/tourist season there were more party boats. We woke up and had breakfast, our mom got to sleep in because she wasn't coming. We headed out to the harbor where all the boats were docked.

There were so many boats, they took up the whole harbor, and the harbor is huge. We searched around for one that looked nice and whose staff didn't yell out at us trying to make business. After we finally found one we waited on it for at least 45 minutes, but it was worth it. Our first swimming stop was about ten minutes after we started.

 I think it was the best stop, we went down to the lower level of the boat and jumped in the water. It wasn't cold though it wasn't warm. We swam around a little then we asked if we could jump off the boarding ramp/gangplank. They said no but told us that we could jump off the side of the boat. Of course we did, it was really fun.

 When the horn sounded it was time to get back on the boat. We continued around the promontory and saw some really amazing cliffs, castle, and climbers. The cliffs were like giant rock walls going as high as a building. The castles were ancient structures on the edge of the cliff with churches and battlements.

Finaly, the climber: in one of the cliffs was a cave that people dive into the water from. It was about 40 feet above sea level. The climber was not going to dive from the cave, he was going to climb up the side of the cliff. Once he was about 45 feet high on the cliff, he dove. Unfortunately he did not do a quadruple flip, he just did a normal dive. It was still amazing.

We kept on moving towards the next swimming stop. We did the same thing as we did the first time except we didn't stay in the water as long. After it we had ice cream. Out next stop was lunch, and that is where we got off. Our lunch was pretty normal, french fries, spaghetti and chicken wings. After that we got off and went to the beach, I won't talk much about that though. Anyway, that was our first pirate boat experience in Turkey.
