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

The end of a quiet month really, due to the departure of many to cooler climates and to the fact that it is very hot and humid, which means some enthusiasm wanes on the activity front. Looks like a boat trip in the offing next week, as the rest of Anne and Jeff's extended family have arrived. There are now twelve of them in Karsiyaka.

On Tuesday evening, I met up with Jeff and the two boys for a couple of beers. We used the excuse of having to swop cars over as a reason for me to go to them. Anne had taken my car to Larnaca as she needed to collect four of them and I had been running about in her little Mazda Demio. That is one advantage here, the car is insured not the driver so that makes these things easier.

Just in case you thought I was joking about it being too hot to do much. At lunch time today I sat out under our gazebo, with a gentle breeze blowing through and the temperature gauge there in the shade was reading 101 degrees F.
