Mal and I decided to go into Antalya and caught the bus outside the hotel. We got off the bus at the huge ‘Pazaar’ and decided to start here. Unfortunately we were there early and so they had very few customers which meant we were harassed at every single stall. By the time we had done a quarter of the pazaar, which was huge, we had seriously had enough. Mal managed to buy a pair of nice hand made leather sandals which we haggled for a very good price and I bought some silver ear rings, also a good price. It was so much effort telling each and every stall holder, no we didn’t want to view their wares, drink their cay and then have to spend half an hour beating them down on price. etc etc
We waited for the bus back! In the afternoon we sat in the beach bar. Shortly after we arrived back in the room, a knock at the door and someone came to look at the air con….oh yes he said, it isn’t working properly. Someone will come to fix it tomorrow. In true 5 star hotel tradition, they offered us another room…NOT!!!
Our room was so hot that it started giving me a head ache. We went and had dinner, all the tables in the outside restaurant were full so we had to eat inside. So stuffy again. Dinner was unexciting and after we had finished we walked to the beach and layed on sun beds at the end of the pier, with the sea lapping around us, at least we had some fresh air. We went to the ‘Wine House’. It was shut, even though it should have been open. Again we slept with the doors wide open to get some air in our room.
