What???
September 09, 2009

Blimey, didn’t even realise it was 999 day today until we got back! What were we doing at 09:09 this morning? Probably still in bed or eating an omelette! Or somewhere in the shit, shower, shave procedure in between the bed and the omelette! Not very auspicious is it?

Blue skies again this morning. So we head back to the beach for some more reading on sunbed action. There are some clouds over the mountains still but they’re in the opposite direction to that which we’re headed. There a few spots of rain again in the evening when we get back to Dalyan but 30 minutes later its sunny again.

Tonight we decide to try Safrum, which is the “posh” restaurant in town, inasmuch as it looks as though an Interior Designer may have been consulted and they have white tablecloths! No doubt that will be reflected in the price though, as it is also opposite the tombs and on the riverside.

Service is a bit slow but the place is full before long and its not a small place. We some huge puffy bread thing with very garlicky butter along with our samphire [also incredibly garlicky] to start. I order something nigh on unpronounceable. Coketme Kebab. There are accents on the "C" and the"O" which I can't reproduce here. The waiter tells me how to say it properly and we think nothing more of it… Until it arrives at the table and another waiter asks “who ordered this”? Then informs me that I can’t have it until I say what it is. Cheeky blighter!

It’s a plate of meat and onions [crunchy] with potato and yoghurt and it’s fantastic but way too much. One of the cats gets to share a bit with me. Sam had the lamb chops.

We don’t hang about for dessert as I want to find a bar showing England v Croatia, which we do. I get chatting to a chap from Manchester, who it turns out is staying 3 doors along from us in our hotel! It’s straight to bed after the match though as we are sailing from Gocek tomorrow and its an early start.
