Thanks to various people for pointing out that this blog never gets updated. Well ha.. you're wrong. It now RARELY gets updated!
Well, what have we been up to since the last post. Back in August, Rosie and I went on a very relaxing trip to Turkey. Well it was supposed to be relaxing, but due to some idiots trying to blow up planes we were left watching TV when we should have been flying to Turkey. After several calls to the airline we finally flew out just under 24 hours later than planned, only to have to deal with delays upon delays leading to missed flights and missed airport transfers.
Tip #1: If you're in Istanbul airport after just missing your connecting flight and really need a drink.. DON'T. A bottle of Corona that cost £8 really isn't worth it.
After EVENTUALLY reaching our hotel in Fethye about 6 hours late, we had a nice nap before waking up to join our boat tour and become familiar with our home for the next 6 nights. The cabins were pretty basic (just a bed and very small ensuite) but we spent very little time below-deck anywa

We didn't even bother sleeping in the cabin; every night we slept on the sun-beds up on deck, right under the stars.We had the odd stop at a few towns; Kas and Simena managed to get quite a bit of our cash in souveniers (and Rosie's postcard addiction). We also visited Kekova - the sunken city, Butterfly Valley, St Nicholas' Island as well as other sights. Great food, great beer, great weather.. it was just the sort of relaxing week that we ne
eded.Arriving back in Fethiye on the Friday, we made the most of our hotel (and the chance to have a good shower and a good nights sleep) and spent the last few days exploring Fethiye. Even the fact that the second last day was a freakishly hot 46 degrees didn't stop us from climbing to the top of a hill to see the rock tombs and a pretty great view of Fethiye.
Next update will be whenever I get around to it. Maybe sooner if Rosie decides to write one. Until then..
