Preparing for a walk down to the beach. Actually, I'm ready to go. David has decided he's going to get out of bed now and start getting ready.
I'm getting cranky, which is probably because I didn't get a lot of sleep last night. David couldn't sleep and then he was up being sick. I hope he's better now. Two cranky people in one hotel room is never a good thing.
1.33pm
Better now. We had a walk down to the beach and found a fantastic place to lounge in the shade.
The private beach is great and I've already dipped my toes in the sea, although David says it doesn't count because there's no photographic evidence. Hey, that's fine with me. The fewer pictures the better!
We're having a break in the snack tent, where they serve some traditional Turkish food. I ordered a cheese gozleme, not knowing what on earth it was but figuring the it couldn't be too bad if it has cheese in it.
I got a full production, with a lady rolling out dough on a table and cooking my Turkish pancake on a flat grill. I almost felt guilty because I must have been the first person to order one. She had to set everything up for my one pancake!
She even had a tip box and there were chairs arranged around the platform where she cooked. More guilt - being all-inclusive and planning to sit on the beach, I left my money in the safe! I will have to go back to leave a tip before we go home.
Basically a gozleme is a crepe. Very nice.
I have been snapping away with the camera today but my batteries ran out. Thank goodness for my array of tech, including the iPhone 4S and its half decent camera!
6.40pm
Lounge pianists seem to have the most bizarre repertoires when I listen to them. Tonight's performer has included Hard-Fi's "Better Do Better". The first time David and I went on holiday together, the pianist decided to sing in the style of Fozzie Bear. Nothing is ever normal where we're concerned.
The hotel asked us to fill in a survey today, even though we're only about halfway through our stay. I did mention the dead mouse. It's not something you can let slide when questions about cleanliness appear.
One of the questions asked why we chose this hotel. There wasn't an option for "Well, we didn't really. We chose a hotel further along the coast, but they decided to shut early for the season so Thomas Cook sent us here instead".
It is quite nice really. We've had more dramas with David's man flu than anything else. That delayed the chill-out process, but we're getting there. I was so relaxed this afternoon I slept for two hours on the beach!
8.05pm
I will seriously need to look into an exercise programme when I get back to England! One problem with all inclusive is that, because it's there, you eat it. I try a little bit of a lot of different things but that still equates to eating until I'm stuffed.
I might just sit where I am until someone kindly offers to roll me to our room.
