First things first, we took the car to Acmenya as the boot won’t shut. This time they exchanged it for a newer clean car with a shutting boot too!
Today is the funeral of my good friend Tommy, in the UK and so obviously we are unable to go but as he was a Marine and loved sailing I promised to lay flowers on the Med for him. Easy? Well we thought so! First we had to find the flowers/florist. Plenty of people have plants but very few have flowers, maybe a couple stored in a fridge because obviously in 35 degree heat, flowers don’t last. We drove nearly the whole way into Girne. We did have to go to Creditwest anyway to show them a copy of our utility bills.
We found one with a lovely florist who was very helpful. It was the turning just opposite Lemar just before you get into Girne. She made us a nice bouquet of very pale pink roses. If you need flowers please go to this shop, lovely people!
It was 75tl a good price we felt in this heat!
Next on to a place where we could float the bouquet and say goodbye but with a preference not to be surrounded by tourists.That was easier said than done bearing in mind it was really windy so it wasn’t just a case of throwing them into the sea because if we were not careful they would fly right back in my face! We found a place in Karsiyaka. I walked along a small jetty but as I said it was windy and the sea was rough and yes I did get soaked by a wave but soon dried off. Very sad.
Mal then said it was fitting to find a bar Tommy would have enjoyed and say a toast to him. We went to Montenegro C and I had a pint of Guiness. Cheers Tommy, rest in peace!
To be honest after the emotion of the day I didn’t feel like going out in the evening but Tommy wouldn’t have sat around moping, so we just went down the road to Blue Door and I have to say had an excellent meal. I had fish kebab and Mal had the “dinosaur” chop. It was in fact a pork chop but enormous. It was really nice sitting in their courtyard. The two dogs knew who the softies were and came and sat by our table! I had my first brandy sour since arriving and as always made a toast to Sue…….too many of my friends are leaving this earth before they should be.
