Holiday

Sorry for no post for a week! Not like me, I'm usually doing at least one a day but I have celebrated my 26th Birthday whilst sunning it up in Turkey for the week.

We had all sorts of problems on the way to airport! Credit Card bill came and had a shock to find non-authorised payments made, therefore late to take Cats to cattery and then we left the wallet at home so had to rush back to get it!

We made the flight by 10 minutes and only because we decided to check in before going to Park and ride did we make it!

Flew in from Brum to Dalaman on 17th and had hour long transfer to Fethiye to the SW of Turkey, this is a newish resort and the roads were awful. We had an all-inclusive package and it was a bargain in the scheme of things!

Staying at Lykia Botanika Beach and Fun club resort, here's a link to the website and a couple of pics: http://www.lykiabotanika.com/giris_en.php



Private Beach:


First time, i have been to turkey and thought the place was wonderful lots of culture, history and the views were amazing.

Some of the people though left a but to be desired! They seemed to be pushy, arrogant and self centred, the perfect example: we went to market on Tuesday in fethiye and they were targeting British people, letting most other people past and it showed grabbing us, shouting at us, we could not even look and i like to browse before i buy.

My biggest problem with everyone we encountered in turkey and i would have a problem with it anywhere, i go on holiday to spend their currency that is why we used bureau de change before we go, I DO NOT WANT TO BUY STUFF IN STERLING!!  just to help their bank balances as they get a good exchange rate. moan over!

Highlight: On my birthday, we did 12 island boat trip, the whole day was spectacular, we had great fun and would recommend to anyone. it cost us £20 each from our rep but you can get it from £10 if you go direct. we stopped at 4 islands in total, Calis, Gocek, and two others cant remember names of but all were different.
