Day 10 - August 30, 2013

August 30, 2013

Vienna, Austria to Bodrum, Turkey

 

 

Bodrum is a resting place for the group. A vacation town for Turkish just by the Aegean sea not far from Greece. Getting ready for Jordan and the Safari. As usual, airport and customs office open for just us. A 30 minutes drive to Amanruya resort. Aman always chooses the optimum location, acquire a large space and build not many structures. They use local architect to design the cottages and incorporate local cultures in every detail. I like the trend that resort operators employ local people and give back to the community.

 

Bodrum，土耳其是休息站。在阿曼酒店，好好休息三天，準備進入約旦及南非。此處在愛琴海邊，是土耳其人渡假之地。並不像伊斯坦堡，古蹟處處。但也因為這樣，才可以好好休息吧！

一進入阿曼酒店，感覺就像進了土耳其莊園。雖然是精緻管理，卻完全沒有奢華太過，反而是樸實無華。用當地的元素建構出原汁原味的風格。更和自然環境結合，渾然一體，不見突兀。誏人感覺到對環境及人文的敬重。 這種在企業精神上的追求，令人感佩。
