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

Decide to try to go over to the south again today, this time with Richard and Paul. We parked the car on the TRNC side again and walked across. We managed to get the original jobsworthy passport officer on the Greek side, who insisted in inspecting our passports and asking were we all lived etc., best to just humour them as they have no right to stop us. After a few minutes he gave us our passports back and we continued on our way, then  got a taxi to a shopping centre that we had been told about. On the way we drove past a very large M & S store which had Joan's eyes popping out and then we found ourselves in a shopping mall, which resembled the sort of thing we used to see in France. Joan and I only bought a few bits and pieces but established that if we came over by car we could get many of the things that are a bit rare in the north or at a cheaper price. The other thing we found out, everything closes at 1 p.m. on Saturday, including M & S.  So who's a lucky boy then?

It was a lovely late afternoon and evening so we had a swim and then got the BBQ going, with some steak and chicken kebabs that the boys had picked up on the way over.
