ICR Day trip/Mystery tour :)

Postby andrea m » 31 May 2008 22:21

Well here it is my review and pics of the above.

It was the first of the season, for ICR, for Donna (the fab rep) and the new driver (who spoke no English).

There were 7 of us on the trip and everyone was ready for a good day out (wherever we ended up). Firstly we went round Icmeler trying to find some apts (all part of the fun honest well we found it funny) so we finally had all 7 of us, Donna and the driver and off we went.

So firstly we are taken to Halil a Turkish restuarant for our Turkish breakfast. Luckily Donna knew where this was so we managed to get there with no 3 point turns or anything :lol: (pics below)

(more pics of here to follow incl. breakfast not uploaded yet)

So once we leave the Halil, we are heading for the Hidden Lake and well what can I say no-one knew where this was, so needless to say it was very well hidden :roll: So we are heading off and travelling along and still no-one was any wiser to where to go. So the driver asked in 2 petrol stations (after we tried to get some more folk to join our day trip at first one to no avail :( ), at the second one they seemed to eventually know what the driver was taking about and pointed him is some direction. So off we went along this road off down another road and past some lovely houses (which I have to say we did see a few times) and down another road, oh there's some water and ducks (although we knew this wasn't right had been last year and it didn't look like the hidden lake I saw there), so we went on along this road a little longer and decided easier to go to the little place where the water was (it was our very own hidden lake) the restaurant was called Halil (coinsidence or what!). So we took some pictures (below more will follow once I've uploaded them), had a wee rest (sure they were glad of some custom) and drink and enjoyed our very own Hidden Lake!

Donna - where the heck are we going to end up next???

So off we trotted back to the ICR minibus -

Once in the bus, off we went to Akayaka again we done a little tour but managed to get there quite quickly from where we were, and off we went to either wander round the little village or lie on the beach. I choose to lie on the beach, lasted an hour (got really windy (no pics of this on camera still to upload) so we headed for restaurant for lunch).

Lunch was a kebab, to which everyone enjoyed (I had the bread with some chips different kind of chip buttie), we stayed there for a while before heading off for a wander. This is where Donna (thanks to Roz & Dot) found a great shop (just as well she didnt take lots of money the shop would've been empty) pic below: -

We then all headed back to the minibus for the next part of our day, to a little cafe for a drink before heading back to Icmeler. Now this was scary at one point not sure what was going on, were meant to go up through the line of trees but lets just say we didn't, but did manage to get to a cafe (albeit apparently not the one we were meant to but that was just the way the day had went anyway!). No pics forgot to take camera.

After this is was a hairy scary ride back to Icmeler, but we all made it back to our apartments in one piece with some fantastic memories a trip I will never ever forget - thanks Donna and ICR.

Sorry if I've went on but it was such a great day and if you are thinking about doing it, you will see the hidden lake and it was definatley work £20 and will no doubt do it again some day :lol:

Sounds like a magical mystery tour.....maybe ICR can start to advertise it as that. Really want to do the hidden lake trip soon, we arrive 8 June, so hopefully they will have found it by then!
