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

Joan needed to go over to Nicosia this morning, so we combined this with a nip across the border so that she could go and view both Debenham's and M&S sales. She must be sickening for something as she actually came away empty handed, now that's what I call a right result.

Obviously, as we were there, we nipped in to the supermarket and did our weekly shop, getting back home mid afternoon. Richard turned up about 5 o'clock as we had suggested going out to the Charcos restaurant in Alsancak. he had never been there before and we had told him about the lovely restored village house and superb traditional food. He was not disappointed and now agrees with me that they serve the best sheftali in town.
