Our adventures in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus continue....
  
Last night we all three decided to celebrate the end of October by having an evening BBQ. Arie remains amazed by the fact that it is still such lovely weather, we keep telling him that this is quite normal.
Today we all three decided to go to Lara beach, on the other side of Kyrenia. Much to our amazement we found that everything had been packed up and stored for the winter. I suppose that Joan and I should have realised that 1st November, was in the eyes of all locals, definitely the end of summer. We decided to try to see if Vogue beach was still open, on the way back and yes t
hey still had sunloungers for us, an empty beach for us to enjoy and even staff to ensure we enjoyed lunch in the sun. A good day, finished my John Grisham novel and had an afternoon nap in the sun after lunch. What more could a man want. I guess the local staff must have thought, crazy English, swimming at this time of the year. This goes hand in hand with a story that I was told recently. Turkish Cypriots only swim during the water melon season. This means they wont take to the water before mid June and wont swim again after mid August. That is clearly why we see them walking around in their winter sweaters by September.
This evening the slightly depleted gang, due to other commitments and a stomach bug for some, met at the Rendezvous. This is fast becoming a favourite with us these days. The English half of the partnership that own the restaurant is a cat lover; and in and around the restaurant area she has a cat called Panda. This is a real softie that she in fact rescued, as it had been abandoned in the car park. he has become a real friend to anybody who will give him some attention, in fact we think that with very little effort he could become a Layabout.
