but not for long! Tomorrow I shall be off to sunny St A (Although probably raining) and then Monday is DISNEYLAND! Tuesday is MY BIRTHDAY! All very exciting.
Got back from Turkey yesterday night and what a week it was. Very emotional on Mum's birthday but other than that, such a lovely week. Weather was overly hot reaching over 50 degrees! When we arrived in friday we went to 'bob's' he used to work in the kings head but bnow has his own restaurant so thought we'd go down for a meal. everyone followed us and he had to serve about 33 people! The poor bloke had never had so many customers and found it hard to cope. Sam was very drunk and missed the chair when he sat down, tried to chat up a girl who had a boyfriend and then was sick in the restaurant. Me, Damo, Cags, Ads and Abs had to take him home.
Saturday we had a lazy day and did hardly anything. Went to Olu Deniz for a meal at Captain Hook's with Abby, Adam, Sam, Damien and Caroline though and had a lovely meal. Abby and I shared Turkish Meze which was massive and then when the main course came I was so full I had about 3 spoonfuls and gave up. We then looked around some shops and there was a black out! It got very very dark, pitch black and we were all very scared for all of about 10 seconds until the generators came on.
Sunday we went quad biking. Me, Abby, Adam, Jan, Dave, Damo, Cags, Mum, Dad, Calum, Karen, Sam, Paul. The experience wasn't as good as we've had before. The didn't have enough bikes to start with so Karen had to go on with Mum. I drove for once! They told me it was automatic so I went the whole way there getting VERY hot. We stopped at the beach couldn't wait for a swim it was so hot. then we had a meal basic chicken chips and salad. We were given about 3 chips each but it was nice! then on the way back I discovered I had gears. The turkish men laughed at me going along and didn't say anything, bloody rude. then eventually a guy sat on the back of my bike and taught me gears. then he kept putting his hand on my waist and quite frankly I wanted him to get off. He was creepy. Damien said he wasn't the sort of person he would like to go out drinking with so I shouldn't make him my boyfriend. That was good enough for me, hahaha. We came home and went to The Shine restaurant and the man in there didn't do enough food for everybody and he told us we were taking too much but we all had a little portion each he just didn't make enough. Karen and calum were left with no food because it had all gone. Me, Janet, Val, Heather and a few others went back to the apartments/villa and Val jumped in the pool with all her clothes. She then moaned her trousers were weighing her down...that is Val for you! Haha. Janet jumped in, very elegantly. She says "I bet you didn't know I was fat and agile" We certainly didn't. I then got in the pool in my swimming stuff (I seemed to be the only one with sense!) and accidently touched her left breast. (It's a balloon I tell you) She then annouces to the whole place "Emily's a dyke! Emily's a dyke! She just touched my left breast! I quite liked it!" she had me in fits the whole week.
Monday we all dressed as pirates and went on the Cherry Tree boat with Sali as our captain. Kev goldstone looked the best. He must have been very hot he had trousers and everything on. Everybody looked great in their pirate outfits and the trip was fantastic. I woke up in the morning and the wind was immense, there was sun beds and chairs and everything in our pool, everything had blown in there! We thought that the boat was going to be a no-go, everybody would have been sea sick but there was no wind in Olu Deniz as it is down the mountain so everything was a success! We went to many coves and swam in the natural water springs (it was freezing!) had a lovely meal cooked by sali and his crew. Arrived back at 7pm and then watched the sun set on the beach. We ate in Help Bar, I had a lovely pizza and then went home for drinks.
Tuesday, another lazy day. Abby, Damo, cags and me went to Mamma Mia's and I had the best pizza ever. Really tasty. Judge no longer works there though and there is a new manager, he was a bit of a sleaze to be honest. He had elvis hair and said he lost his wife when he started singing because he had affairs with girls who threw pants at him. He said it as if we should be impressed. I think not. In the evening we ate at a place in Chalis called Sät. It was a lovely setting really posh place over looking the ocean. It was a shame that the food and service didn't match the scenery. They bought out the wrong food and the service was slow. We were glad to go home. Had a good night with John and Annabel who came with us along with Val, Kev, Janet, Paul and Gill.
Wednesday we went to Olu Deniz to watch the paragliders come in. Kev Smith, Kev Goldstone, Val, Caroline, Damien, Terry, Tracy, John, Gary and Michelle all jumped from the mountain. We later learned it was a bit of a rip off though. They only got taken half way up and they didn't bring enough parachutes so some peopel had to wait on the mountain for over an hour before they bought more up. They paid £45 and caroline said it lasted 10 minutes. When Mum did it it was at least 30 minutes. They still had a fun time though and we had some breakfast in a restaurant on the waterfront. That night was Mum's birthday party. Everybody looked amazing in their toga's. We had a singer who was incredible he was so happy to be there. He sang all the number ones when me, Abby and Damien were born and Dad did a slide show of mum's life and presented her with the keys to her new car! she loved it. Janet pushed me in the pool with my toga on. I wasn't impressed so I secretly got out and went behind her to push her in. REVENGE! Spent the night with Nihat who is Dormus' son and we went to the beach at 4am and watched the sunrise. It was really nice. First time I stayed up all night in a very long time.
Thursday we had lazy day and then had dinner at the Oran where everybody else was staying. A very nice BBQ. It was Kev Goldstone's birthday so they had a belly dancer come in. She made all the men do a dance and then the women it was very funny. She blindfolded Damien and made Sam dance with him and he thought it was her, hahaha. Some good pictures were taken. Some of us (Dad, Gary, Michelle, Kev, Val) all stayed up until 4am singing. Rounded it off with Buck Rogers (What else?) and then I went to bed at 7.30am being very drunk.
It was a wonderful holiday and sad to go home on friday but on wards and upwards! Disneyland!
