Aegean Paradise
AT THE MANDARIN ORIENTAL BODRUM
Hopping into the rainfall shower, I settle here for a while, lingering almost. Between the satisfying warm drench of an invigorating shower and the picturesque views of the Riviera, it's easy to lose track of the time. Later, I step outside, barefoot, onto the connecting wooden sundeck. It’s mellow and comfortingly meditative, gently heated by the soft glow of daybreak. Watching the waves, I sit still. There's plenty to do below, but I am in no rush; I'm happy to linger a while longer to watch, to bask, to think – that's already plenty to do before the prelude ends.
