Busy doing nothing

Tuesday 9th October

Hmmm…. not much happened, not a lot of interest or of note or out of the ordinary – in other words a pretty good holiday day.

Only two things slightly different occurred.

Firstly, a massive cruise liner crept across the bay at first light heading for Marmaris – it looked as if it was moving so slowly and under the cover of the early pre-dawn mist, it was almost as if it didn’t want anyone to notice it but it was so huge it was impossible not to watch it’s progress.

Secondly, whilst we were down on the beach in the morning, a helicopter approached from out at sea and landed in the grounds of the banker’s mansion, obviously dropping someone off, before taking flight again back across the bay. A few days ago I had overheard the hotel owner discussing whether the hotel should get a helicopter to make trips to places like Ephesus (3 hours by car) or for airport transfers (2 hours) but he was concerned about the noise and disturbance to guests. Well, I can confirm that it would be very intrusive and very noisy – especially if it came and went four or five times a day – but then I know there are plenty of people who would think the opposite and wouldn’t give a damn if they were disturbing anyone else because all they think about is themselves, such is the world.

OK, I’ll get off my soapbox now. What else. Just the usual.

Fabulous sunrise.

Beach.

Swimming and reading and sleeping.

Live music night (see last week’s entry for Tuesday)
