Day 3 (Thursday 1st August)
Hag a lovely meal at Tommy’s last night, I had the Chicken Fajitas (even better than I remember), My wife had a tomato and garlic pasta dish that was very nice too, and my daughter had the tomato soup (like I said before she’s not into ‘eating’ as she’s at that age which is quite annoying at times – bless her). The free garlic bread and dips for the starter was really nice and light so as not to fill you up too much – it was all puffed up and it looks like a Zepplin lol.
We got back to the
Hotel at around 10pm and the entertainment was just starting. To say I wasn’t that bothered about seeing it, it was very good - traditional Turkish Dancers – and before that a belly dancer who had a few guys (myself included) up on the stage topless (us not her lol) and we had to copy her dance moves and do a solo dance – good clean fun Finally went to bed around 12:30am.
Today I left Lesley and Amy at the hotel while I took a wander into
Icmeler - after a 15 minute leisurely walk I was at Icmeler square (near the fountains). I mainly went to book the excursions at April Travel (due to recommendations from various sources). I eventually found Eric after wandering around for a while and also met Billy boy (lookalike from DIY SOS) – I think it was Florida bar – had a quick Efes here as it was so hot the off to see Eric…
Well, Eric seems one of the most friendliest and genuine people I have ever met – had a really nice chat and booked four trips (Village Tour, Dalyan mud baths, Aqua Dream and Jeep Safari). He also did me a very good price on all these - that was confirmed as I was chatting to another Travel Operator as I was stood waiting for the Dolmus back (although I ended up walking back anyway).
Back to the hotel for around 2pm and had another lazy day by the pool but also participated in some pool games and killer pool – always something to do at the Grand Aquarium).
Another great day and I will miss this place so much – but trying not to think about returning yet, just enjoying my stay.
Tonight we will take a stroll into Icmeler again as we’re eating at the Tandoori Sizzler – last year the food was amazing so am look0ng forward to that even though I know they are different owners now.
Will keep you informed if they have free wi-fi (I’m sure someone must have around there)
Bye for now,
Justin
