The Peace Boat slips into the sunset with hardly a sound...

Give peace a chance
Kusadasi's port welcomes ships almost every day during the summer and, as my apartment has a clear view over the bay, I've come to recognise the ships over the years. It's rare to have an unknown liner coming into port but yesterday saw such an event.
We welcomed the Peace Boat! I'd never seen it before so I was keen to check it out on the internet (too much time on my hands?).
Apparently this ship is something to do with Japanese hippies. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for peace and supporting environmental issues and was really happy to see Kusadasi doing its bit by welcoming the boat into port.
It was mored outside Starbucks and the view as I sipped my skinny-decaf-hazelnut-mocha-frappacino was something to behold.
I love the ships coming in and out of port and my proximity rarely causes me any bother. But, as evening fell, it became clear that the Peace Boat wasn't going to live up to its name.
Yeah, yeah, very pretty and I'm sure I wasn't the only one praying for peace last night...
Peace Boat my arse.
