Turkey, October 11th - 22nd

Catherine and I are in Turkey. With all the riding holidays I've had this year it was only fair I even things up and go away with her. Never fancied it TBH but we found a reasonable package with TUI for 10 days in Side, on the Turkish Riviera and here we are. 

Day one started at 10am. We set off for airport parking, were parked up and at the terminal by 11:40. Our flight was scheduled for 13:40. It left at 14:20. Travelling at 41,000ft (about 8 miles) up and at 600mph, the journey was 3h20m. Add the 2 hour time difference and we were off the aircraft and at the baggage carousel by 19:55. We were still there at 20:35! Feck alone knows what the delay was.

With the wait and journey time of our transfer, we got to the hotel/apts gone 11:00, though we were lucky enough to be first off.

Check-in involved us being presented with blue wristbands. This identifies us as b&b. There are other colours for half, full and all inclusive. We have to keep this on for the entire 10 days! Catherine looked at the guy incredulously when he placed it around her wrist.

The apartment is nice and spacious, if not that well equipped. They all face inwards towards the swimming pool and the 'entertainment ', which is very loud. We couldn't see much, as it was dark but it looked very nice from the balcony.
