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

January 12

- What utter bliss. When we completed our building works we invested in a new super king size bed for ourselves, but still had the duvet from the old king size job. Guess who got the cold bum every night? Yesterday we finally went over to M & S Home Store in the South, as Joan had tried without success to get a feather duvet here, they had 2 x 2.4 meter goose and duck feather job which hangs down the sides and keeps this old guys backside nice and warm. Brilliant.

Wednesday evening we had also been to Ercan and picked up George and Susan from their UK trip, so this evening almost all The Layabouts were present at The Stumble Inn. Just Pat & Bryan missing with bad colds.

I

t has gone extremly cold again over here in the evenings and the temperatures indoors are lower than those outside often. This is because the houses are designed to keep out the summer heat, so when we do get a bit of winter sun it doesn't really penetrate. The forecast for the coming week gives us midday temperatures of up to 17 degrees, but down to 1 degree at night.

Despite the application for direct flights and the petition being signed by many it still seems to be some way off before any agreement is reached. There is however some good news about flights in to Ercan from Pegasus Airlines and I received the following e-mail from Steve and Pauline who seem to be in contact with transit travel,

Pegasus Airlines
We have been advised that this airline are still planning to operate a service from UK/Ercan commencing 1st April. As a result of the consultation process they went through with high volume agencies/operators they are making minor changes to their originally planned programme which has delayed their launch announcement. The exact programme should be known by next Wednesday, if not sooner. Our web page:-
