Hot Foot
September 12, 2009

It’s still partly cloudy this morning, with a few spots of rain. We had intended to go back to the beach today as it’s market day on Saturday’s and the town will be busy but I’m not too sure as I’m still in some pain. We skip the hotel breakfast and have a lie in and decide to take a walk along the road to Gokbel that we had cycled before to photograph some of the intriguing flowers and vegetation.

We have a late breakfast at Atay Dustlar Sufrasi, next to the market and opposite the dolmus stop, where we can watch the tractors full of melons etc coming into town for market. By the time we are finished it’s sunny again and consequently our walk is scorching. I don’t think we had realised how hot it has been all the time we have been here as the beach has a breeze to take the edge off it and we’ve been lying around mostly!

On our way back into town we find a little Art Gallery/Café that wouldn’t look out of place in a little English seaside town. So we stop for mint tea under the shade of a large rubber tree.

The rest of the day we read by the pool until it clouds over again so we pop next door for kebabs, which for some reason are more full than on our previous visit, which is unfortunate as it means we can’t finish our evening meal back at Beyuz Gul. Although Sam just has a salad and I have chicken skewers, which gets shared with “Vodka” the dog. We have coffee and liqueurs and head back to bed.
