Our adventures in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus continue....
  
Christmas Carol Service at St Andrews today. We went with Pat and Bryan and Anne Lloyd, getting there about 5.30 and only just in time to get seated. An idea that everybody should hold a lighted candle throughout the service caused a little concern amongst some of the congregation. There you have Bryan with candle waiting for somebody to produce a light. All went off OK and nobo
dy got singed.
Afterward we all five went looking for something to eat. We had been told that the new Sabor was very good, but when we got there we discovered that they closed Sundays during the winter months. Next stop The Passport. Here Bryan and I wanted Carlsberg but were told they had run out, so we opted for the local Efes beer and then asked for three G&Ts for the ladies, being quite specific about them using local gin and not charging for imported. Then the waitress came back and said no Efes and no local gin, only expensive imported stuff, so we gave her back her menus and walked out. There is too much of this, lets milk the ex-pats, stuff going on here.
Final stop, at Anne's suggestion, was Pasta Mania, on the road up to Edremit. Excellent meal, local G&Ts and Carlsberg on tap. They shall get our custom again.
