Today started a little later than the previous 5. We did find somewhere for dinner last night, however it was after we had found a cocktail bar!!!!! Dinner was pretty cool, accompanied by a nice bottle of local wine! The night was still young so we found a nice little place for a night cap before walking home! (those who had a phone call from us whilst we walked back will know the fuller story!!)
One funny incident occurred when we both managed to fall down the same hole (one of us was pushed but we wont divulge too many details……), in the garden on the way back to the apartment!! We had mud up to our knees and left a footprint trail across the path, good job its sunny here and it had all dried up by the morning!
So after a nice lie in, today got off to a relaxing start. We had breakfast in the sun on the balcony then went and had a Turkish shave, (Just to claify things, this is just a facial shave, we didn’t go Brazilian, ouch!!!!) thus allowing us to absorb some of the local culture!!
We then went into town a see about hiring a boat before having lunch at Sarah’s, this cool lady who has moved from the UK to run the ‘coffee pot’ just down the road from the apartment. Her husband is Turkish and so we showed him our route on the map and some of the pictures we had taken on the way, it turns out he went to Uni. in one the towns we passed through so gave us some tips for our return journey!!
It was then back to the apartment and another 100 lengths of the pool and a rest in the sun over a few chapters of our books before we went into Fethiye for dinner! We caught the bus, or dolmus as they are known which was an experience. Now, busses are not normally my thing but this is like a posh mini bus with an automatic sliding door that the driver thinks is the tardis and drives like a go cart up and down the steep winding roads.
Fethiye has an amazing harbour, there is so many boats, as you all know I am a bit of a boat fan so we walked around some of the pontoons and dreamt of how are millions would be spent (if we had them!!) There is every kind of boat imaginable from small fishing boats to massive tour boats and sailing ships, as the sun was setting it looked so picturesque…….
Dinner was in the fish market, which is surrounded by places that will cook the fish that you have brought from the market, we both had a huge Tuna steak with salads and bread….. not too shabby!!
A short bust ride back to the apartment and its goodnight from us!
Sleep well!!
