25th October 2009

We were lucky that we remembered to change our clocks back an hour because no one in the hotel bothered to tell us or put up notices. We had our breakfast outside and then decided to just get out of the hotel so we went for a long walk. We went as far as Kervansaray Kundu, another of their hotels, as we had the Kervansarsay card with us, we went in and had a coffee and then walked all the way back again. We had a quick lunch and then packed all our things and waited for the ‘man’ who was going to come and take us to our new room. By 2.30, Mal had enough again and went to reception and demanded the new key card and told them we could manage to move our own things. He was met by an extremely sarcastic Manager. Do they really ever want customers to return? I think not. Another two hours of our holiday wasted. I can honestly say this is not the sort of holiday we expected, even though we tried to make the most of it and had to laugh. At one stage Mal actually wanted to just get on a plane and go home to Cyprus! So, day 5 of our holiday we actually had a room with air con!!

The nights entertainment didn’t appeal to us so following dinner and a drink in the soul less bar, we collected a tray of drinks took them back to our room and sat on our balcony playing cards until well after midnight. This room was much cooler and we both managed to get a good night’s sleep, the first since we had been here.
