Nobody wants to hear about our 4 day stay at a 5* resort in Turkey on the Mediterranean, with temperatures consistently above 30 degrees, when everyone back home is experiencing one of the worst winters in memory, but we’ll tell you anyway (though we will keep it short and only note the highlights).Day 124 – The lounge/restaurant/coffee shop/library/computer station /bar are all in one large open area. We, along with a traditionally dressed Muslim couple were shocked and amused at the girl who was playing pool (complete with “lean over the pool cue poses”) in her g-string bikini – we all went back for a second look as it was too surprising to take in with one. If only we’d had our camera …….
Day 125 – Where else do you take a lift from a little building in the garden down 6 flights and then walk through a long tunnel to find a private beach with bar? This is no ordinary beach as the area has been built into the existing landscape of rocks with decking, paving, sun lounges as well as rocks in the sea with diving boards. No sand, but the position and setup certainly makes up for it.
Day 126 – It’s always a bonus when the buffet breakfast is so substantial that it tides you over until dinner time, thus saving on paying for lunch. We did find though that many of the nearby restaurants were incredibly expensive – even for a tourist area. We managed to find a nice place with very reasonable prices that is famous for its chicken wings (according to the waiter) – we ended up eating there twice. There was also a wedding party down in the garden today, with jumping castles for the kids, a big stage with dancers and singers – no expense spared!
Day 127 – Did we mention that we got a deal for our room for just AUD$116 per night? And that we were upgraded to the 20th floor sea view rooms when we arrived? Did we also mention how great our tans are looking (well, our arms, legs and faces anyway …..)
