It rained a lot in the night but we managed a dry walk, although a little wet underfoot, we managed to dodge the rain.

When we lived in north Cyprus we frequently went to the beach in Karsiyaka and many times were lucky enough to see the volunteers were excavating turtle nests. We also frequently returned in the evening to watch the baby turtles being released. It really was magical. The volunteers help like this to give them a better chance of survival. Sadly only about one in a thousand survive. I don’t think the water pipeline from Turkey did them any favours on their beach either! SPOT (Society for the Protection of Turtles) have a lot of fundraising events. Karsiyaka Volunteers help out too and they are offering people the chance to name a nest for a 50tl fee. The money of course goes to SPOT. I have named mine! I am hoping when we return I will be able to see my nest.

I went and bought some new sandals but not sure when I will be wearing them with all this rain!

We watched the Turkey v England football. Not much to say about that. Of course Mal spent his day assessing exams and I am surprised at the things teachers try to get away with but I guess they are under a lot of pressure to achieve results.
