Holiday fun

**snapper** · 15 Jul 11,, 04:46

I ask your advice on on my 'holiday fun' plan which goes as so:

8th August I have chartered a yacht in Paros Greece for 4 friends and myself. I will then sail (used to sailing so nps there) first to Thera (Santorini) as one of my friends has never been there then to Rhodes to pick up two other friends then to Bodrum (Turkey) where I have a friend who works in the castle. Now Rhodes and Bodrum are old Knights Hospitlers bases but we plan to be let into the old castle at night - betrayed to us! - and hoist the Hospitlers Flag. I would then claim the castle to the local police in the name of the Order by messenger under white flag (a payed for his trouble local) and phone the local press (in case they wanted to get with nasty us). When they came knocking I would ask for their title deeds and then if they produced them claim 'right of conquest'. I would evidently pay any fines after this demonstration and leave peacefuly but it seems like a fun idea to me.

Advice though is welcome as I don't fancy a Turkish gaol!

I'll be watching for "Group of tourists in Bodrum have been detained by the local polce and sent to psychiatric evaluation after..."

Good luck with your plan, but have a backup one if the chief of Police over there is too serious

Not my fault if they can't take a joke.

Not their fault either

Just don't put too much hope in the 'taking a joke' capabilities of the Turkish police. Or an police at all

Best of luck, don't forget to take plenty pictures and videos

Full videos will be taken of entrance to castle and flag hoist and 'defence' and buried (as the police will be after wiping our records) for friend there to retrieve after we are gone (safe stone is already selected). Fun or stupid?
