A Day Doing Nothing

Well today has been a real day for doing nothing. All the weekend visitors had gone when we got up for breakfast and the place certainly looked deserted.. We watched the little fishing boats go in and out. Fishermen cleaned the crabs from their nets and local restauranteers came down to buy some red mullet, a small fish like a sprat and sea bass which looks like our mullet. A fish meal costs 15L.

Yesterday we bought a loaf of bread for 00.25, a couple of bananas and a bottle all for 5L and that was lunch. I'm surprised there are no sea gulls here. I've seen one and a shag. Today we walked out to the coast army post about 2km away and were surprised to find 50boats waiting to go through the straits.

The little village of Kilyos has approximitaly 12 places to eat, 2 vege shops, 2 small grocery stores and 3 shops selling swim wear. Tomorrow we return to Istanbull to pack our bags ready for home.

I forgot to tell you about the 2 tortoises we saw trying to cross the road. Our driver stopped the car and lifted them across!
