Our adventures in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus continue....

January 17

- For some time now, Joan and I have been talking about getting a small car for her to give her a little more independence, to and from work etc. At the same time we have been conscious of the fact that all the extra mileage I have been doing is showing in the petrol consumption of our 5.2 litre Jeep. For example I had to go to Nicosia three times last week and run up and down to Kyrenia so ended up putting 180 million TL in the petrol tank ( £72.), far too much. So we went over to talk to the guys at Tasas Trading Ltd in Nicosia. These are the g

ents with the car sales link on the website and who import direct from Japan. They had a number of sensible cars which would suit me down to the ground, Honda Civic Hatchbacks, Suzuki Aerio Estates etc. All of these are less than two years old, low mileage and with all the bells and whistles that you could want so we discussed the best way forward. We also saw a couple of small cars which would suit Joan down to the ground and she found a lovely, metallic silver Mazda Demio which she declared to be a real sweetie and when somebody said its only little, I said but Joan's only little, so its a perfect match. So we decided to leave the Jeep there for them to sell for us, make do with the "little sweetie" until they do and then buy something for me. This evening we went off to the Polar Cafe again for their fish and chip meal. This was because we had told Michael and Barbara how good it was, so they declared a wish to sample the wares. Afterwards we ended up drinking one or two beers etc back at our place until around 1.30 a.m
