South Eastern Railways are also selling £10 return tickets from London to Margate/Dover/Folkestone and Deal. A bargain…a shame they don’t do it for £10 the other way round! But for a day at the seaside from London….very good.
We waited until the rain stopped before our muddy walk in the mountains and then the raindrops were still on the flowers.

A little battered rock rose but loved the colours…

Immediately in front of our house but next to the sea, we have watched the building of Merit Royal Hotel. Today we decided to go and have a nosey around and have lunch there. I don’t think many people know that you can have a buffet meal, drinks included for 50tl a person. Personally I don’t think they advertise it enough. On arriving at the hotel, we enquired at reception about the “deal”. He had no knowledge of it and had to phone somebody else!! I think that proves my point.
Starters are soup or more meze than you can imagine, with salad. A good selection of main courses and soooo many deserts!!

The waiters are charming, the service and food is definitely 5 star. If you haven’t been, go and give it a try, you won’t be disappointed. White tablecloths, in fact everything is spotless. We had the rose wine, well only one small glass for me as I was driving as usual. It was French and excellent. Our drinking water was topped up constantly during the meal. After my one glass of wine, I asked for some sort of juice and was brought fresh orange, also included in the price. You can eat as much as you like and the waiter was constantly filling Mal’s wine glass. All this excellent food was followed by coffee. The view from the restaurant looks out over the sea. One of the best meals we have eaten in north Cyprus. The restaurant is open for lunch between 1.00pm – 3.30pm.
