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

This morning I took Arie and the kids down town to Kyrenia as they needed to change money and also to visit the watch shop opposite the Dome hotel. Arie replaced his watch that he had bought a year or so ago and also bought a couple of watches for the kids. At this point I learnt a couple of new words for the old mans vocabulary, "cool" which is probably obvious to all and then "bling bling" which means something that is bright, shiny and will be loved by all her girlfriends when she gets home. A nep Gucci watch all pink and shiny with a bright wide strap. Thus very bling bling.
In the afternnon we went down to The Sunset Club which Joan and I had joined recently on the assumption that it would be enjoyed by all who come to
stay as a sort of club place to swim and relax. Also every time you want to go to a beach here you have to pay quite high prices not only for a sunbed but also to eat and drink. The Sunset is just around the corner so to speak, costs nothing to go in any more and offers 20% off food and drink to life members which brings these things down to avery favourable price.
Both Michael and Samantha found the swimming bit really good so guess that this was money well spent for them and Samantha as a young 15 year old going on about 35 found the young Turkish waiters quite interesting. I somehow think that we will get some really first class waiter service during the rest of their stay here.
In the evening Joan and I had organised to go down to The Pegasus restaurant where Veli the owner had arranged a Turkish evening and charity dinner to raise money for the Kidney Dialysis equipment needed here. The food was absolutely superb and we all really enjoyed that and the rest of the evening.
When we got home, quite late, Michael insisted on going in for a night swim and Joan had to join in like it or not. I suppose when we were that age we had all that energy too, but it's such a long time ago I have sort of conveniently forgotten.
