QUIZ TIME - A BAR CRAWL ROUND ICMELER

17 Jan 2009 09:55

Have had a go at making up a cryptic kinda quiz, just to while away these long winter nights. I've numbered them, 23 in total. Sorry but there's no prizes its just for fun, but if I happen to meet up with the 'winner' in Icmeler either June or September then be happy to buy you a drink.
**Sorry had to put the numbers eight and eighteen in letters as was showing an emoticon**


We're in the square, have just withdrawn load of money from the ATM and going on a pub crawl, can you guess which
bars we visited.


Wander down the street towards the beach, say hello to Harry (1) then cross the road, pass a great Indian landmark (2) then turn right. Not far now, bypass the forces hotel (3) then we're right there, hey this ain't Stratford but we'll have 2 Large Efes please!! (4)

Our thirst suitably quenched for now we head back past the forces hotel again and turn left at the junction, ducking to avoid the arrows (5) we hurry down towards the promenade where we turn left. We walk for a while admiring the view and eventually come to the waterway, we stop on the bridge to take some pics before our next 'top up' stop. I was sure we would see a panda in here.(6)

Try not to buy anything as we walk up past the market stalls, but get confused as we first of all pass by a part of Italy (7) then when we reach the junction and cross the road we come across a part of America - whats going on, better stop here to get our bearings (eight) - two large Efes!

OK, on we go, the ICR office is in sight as we wave 'hello sailor' (9), walk on then turn left onto the square and before you know it we're saying 'hello' again but in a foreign language (10). We keep walking, pass by America's gambling capital (11) then when we're all ready (12)
we cross the road and head for the monarch's country (13). Must be time for another refreshment and perhaps something to eat.

Onward - as we pass the waterway we watch the ducks - so cute - but my feet are getting sore think we need to stop again but lets cross the road and see if the King is at home - he's not, so two large Efes please 'Jim'.(14)

Time is wearing on and I think we should be heading for nearer home, so we pass 'niagara' (15) then walk on passing some bars, shops and hotels on the way. Look across the road to see the bar dedicated to me and my sister, oh lets go over and have one or three (16). Two large brandies please!

We're on the last lap now so we cross the road (again), say hello to whistling Rudolph (17) but don't go in as we want to go next door to see if 'Tommy' is in - 2 large brandies, just like that (eighteen)

Now the easy part, we're heading back to our hotel for a nightcap, past the famous karaoke bar (19), we're in tune (20) and enjoying our freedom (21), but we don't go quite as far as the fire eating monster (22) cos we're 'home' (23)


Thats the end of our bar crawl, and yes I am crawling, how many of the bars/restaurants can you guess.

Good luck!
