magoo back...and depressed

Postby mr magoo » 03 Oct 2008 13:04

we arrived in icmeler on 12th september after a good flight and a swift ICR transfer from dalaman. beats the coach transfer any day.

stayed at the prestij aparts which were fine considering the good price we got them for. nice and clean. stairs up to bedroom area could be a problem for people with mobility problems though.

met some friends who we had met previously in icmeler and they were staying at the devamli so were down at their pool quite a bit. luxury, big soft sun-beds and a jacuzzi. throw in lots of laughs and lots of efes and we could really have been in heaven.

our group also hired a boat for the day and had a great day sailing around marmaris bay.

eating out was the usual high standards and we particularly enjoyed wayside and cafe rose. we also found a wee gem of a place...tratorria bistro who did a set menu of main course and sweet for the princely sum of 9.95ytl. great value. it's situated on the grassy area behind 3 bells heading towards the old village.

had some great nights in the bars and unbelievably we didn't see one michael jackson act. they were on but just not when we were in. mind you, they're good at MJ, we saw a couple of tina turner "shows" and they were murder. a wig, short skirt and fishnets and miming really badly to a couple of her songs. the lads were enjoying themselves though.


pleasantly surprised the boys in deja vu never hassled us as we stayed next door and we had some good meals and a good couple of nights in there. good fun.

met my friend aziz who's now working in friends bar in the square. good to catch up with him and glad he's got a job. we were with him when he got the job.

he went to talk to a guy(the boss I presume) and came back to our table a few minutes later with a friends bar t-shirt on. Must've been a dynamic interview :)

we had a couple of terrific thunder storms our second week. i've never heard thunder as loud in my life. we were all out on our balconies at 3 in the morning watching the lightning show. amazing.

loved the position of the aparts, sitting on the balcony watching the locals setting up for the day and the kids going to school....3 or 4 of them hanging off their dad's motorbikes or scooters and not a crash helmet between them. brilliant.

popped into icr office to confirm our transfer back to dalaman and met donna who looked almost angelic sitting at reception. nothing like the demon who goes on the jeep safaris :wink:

also recognised a few members of this forum from seeing their photos on here. i'm sure they must've wondered who the weirdo walking towards them calling their names was. hello jackie p, andrea and her mam and lynn m and hubby.

got our sandwiches for airport at traveller's rest and they were great. recommend them.

once again, left icmeler with a heavy heart and makes it worse when you look back as you go up the hill and watch her disappearing leaving you with only wonderful memories and the thought of returning next year.

flight back was a bit of a pain as there had been a problem with the plane so one was chartered that was only taking us to manchester and then being bussed up to glasgow. at least we travelled safely, but made it a really long day.

all in we had a brilliant time, roll on next year.
