Last trip of the year - maybe.

Coffee time.

Beyaz called in to say hi.

My favourite beach.

This was the last week of August and first week of September. I started the holiday with Hil in Datca and then headed off to Uzumlu to catch up with old friends and a new one! Then for the last week we picked up Matt from the airport for another late night/early morning drive over the mountains back to Datca. We had a very strange experience at the very top of the mountain as we drove along for the first week but on the second trip we only saw donkeys - phew!!
The two weeks were over all too fast but we had a great time. The wind for Matt was really good and he sailed right up until 45 minutes before leaving on Sunday. It was a very sociable two weeks with meet ups with many friends.
Here are some photos to keep me going during the winter months. I think it is unlikely that we will return before next May.

David brought some singers to entertain us.

Belinda's birthday party and breakfast with the girls.

You never quite know what will be served at breakfast. This time it was a kind of fried Yorkshire pudding!!!

We had a lovely afternoon at the camp site beach watching the boats come in.

Lunch at Mesudiye ...

An afternoon at the Mare Hotel.

Lunch at home - note how food seems to feature heavily in our photos!

Then it was off to Uzumlu to visit our smashing friends.

Lynne and Dave had Guy to stay - he did well to keep us giggling during our visit.

Back to Datca - fresh fish for sale by the boats.

A view from our house.

Kormen - the other side.

A night at the amphitheatre.

I think this one gave Hil a bit of a fright!!

        

Ruthie babes, Alan and family rolled into town!
