20th March 2011

Perhaps we should have gone to bed earlier. Our alarm went off at 1/4 to 3 in the morning. We went to reception and our transfer transport was already there waiting. I think they came early after forgetting to collect us when we arrived! So, we were at the airport three hours before our flight was due to leave. All that hanging around at the airport for a 40 minute flight! We had coffees while we were waiting.

Chris was at Ercan waiting to take us home (thank you Chris). He also let us stop at Ileli so Mal could buy Cyprus Today see link

Home and we unpacked and then collected Rosie. Lena did have a spare dog there and said would we like another as well as Rosie! As lovely as the dog was, we just brought Rosie home. As usual she went mad as soon as she was back. I gave her a pigs ear which she promptly went and buried in the garden. I was hoping she would as she has to lose weight.

Then the rain started. We were hoping the good weather was going to continue. We certainly can’t complain about the weather we had in Antalya.

Petrol has gone up again while we have been away but it is still cheaper than Turkey.

Later we watched Chelsea beat Man City.

There certainly was some low cloud during the day.
