Mal’s birthday! Happy Birthday Mal, I don’t think we will be doing anything too adventurous today. His birthday, 2 minutes into it and he was decorating the bathroom, as he said he won’t have to worry that he ate too much yesterday, he lost most of it! I think it may have been Efes, cocktails and whisky chasers! You think at 68 he would know better. He swears it was “something they put in the cocktails”!! Mmmm! No comment.
We were still down to breakfast at 7.30 with plenty of coffee and water.
Then he decided a brisk walk was in order! We went in the opposite direction than we did before and even more shops have been built. We found a lovely shop, shame we hadn’t room to transport one of his carpets back.Some are made out of old Persian rugs that have been cut up as he said they cost far too much to be repaired.
Lunch and then we sat by the pool, a bit windy but very sunny.
By the time we came back to the room Mal had another duck on his bed, a bottle of wine(just what he needed!!), a plate of fresh fruit and a Birthday note. Nice touch.
We had a nice meal and then chose one of the quieter bars to enjoy the rest of the evening.
