Day at the beach

We set off for the Silver Sands beach this morning, it is well advertised as the best beach, with a restaurant, white sand and lots of water sports available.

After driving around for about 3/4 of an hour, unable to find it, we settled on another beach in front of a large hotel.

There were water sports available, so Daniel availed himself of a jet ski for a time. I think quarter of an hour actually.





Lots of young Turkish men selling simit on the beach, and only to happy to be photographed without asking for money in return.


Home for lunch and after a big siesta for most of us, we called the restaurant at Silver Sands, the owner came to out to our resort for us to follow him there, and we enjoyed a delicious meal, although the wait for the food was bordering on unbearable, about one hour and twenty minutes. Poor JJ was almost asleep by the time it arrived.

We some something none of us had ever seen before.....an English family sitting near us, just got up and walked out when their meal was delivered, leaving meals and drinks on the table. Needless to say, no money exchanged hands. Apparently the father had been very angry about the time it took for the meals to come. The proprietors were most perplexed, as the whole idea of the beach restaurant is a slow meal over several drinks. " you are on holiday, what's the rush?"

We enjoyed sunset and moonrise over the water.


Can you make out the new moon in this pic?
