A reflection from Pauline. I wonder how many others would have the stamina to continue her battle but then she has lost a huge amount of money, not forgetting her laptop which is still in police custody.
River wanted to buy himself a Galatasaray T shirt and looked in Lambousa market last Saturday. I suggested they may be cheaper at the Girne Wednesday market, so off we went. Yes, they were 15tl cheaper and they also looked better to me! We bought some other things there. It didn’t seem as busy as it used to be. Cherries were 4tl a kilo!
River said he wanted to treat us to a meal and so we suggested we went to Magarina Bulli, as they are such reasonable prices there and also so that he could sample REAL Home cooked Turkish Cypriot food.
What a welcome back we received on arriving there. Kezi suggested we start with a bowl each of Molehiya, that was almost a meal in itself and so tasty! Mal and River then had the kleftico, which were enormous pieces with a lot of meat. I had a chicken dish which was really good. This was followed by water melon, Turkish coffees and including our drinks a 61tl bill for the three of us. If you are in NC and haven’t tried eating here, do give it a try. They are only open lunchtimes Monday to Friday and the menu changes every day. Don’t be afraid that you won’t know what the dishes are, it will all be explained to you.
