Need I go on about complications with the terrace?? So this morning the pointing began, they gave us one mix, it didn’t work, went to buy some more and that was no good. The third lot worked but it is taking so long and Torin has had no holiday so Mal is going to finish it. BUT good news for Torin. Every time he has been to stay he has missed the turtles and I have had my fingers crossed this week and today’s announcement from Karsiyaka Turtle Watch…………

???????????????? HATCHLING RELEASE TONIGHT????????????????
SATURDAY, 24TH SEPTEMBER

We will be releasing at least 19 hatchlings tonight which were excavated this morning from our last nest of the season! So if you’d like to come along and watch them start their journey into the sea, come and join us. Please meet at The Turtle Shack, Guzelyali Beach, Karsiyaka at 18:15.
No need to book, everyone welcome. ????

I was so pleased for him as he has been so disappointed on previous visits. How lucky were we , the last release of the season!!

So early evening we headed off to Guzelyali beach and had a drink at the bar while we were waiting. There are two lovely dogs there that KTW have been feeding and of course now they won’t be searching the beach for turltes any more, who is going to look after the dogs. Well, Torin fell in love with one of them Buddy….

I think if he had fitted in Torin’s case he would have taken him!

Not only was Torin lucky it was this night but they also seemed to release them when it was not quite as dark as usual. Sometimes we have been there and you could hardly spot them. BUT you are not allowed to hold them any more because of salmonella. Torin’s face watching them was incredible, he is just like me, thinks they and their journey to sea is magical. It has to be one of the “must do’s”  in life. A Huge thank you to Karsiyaka Turtle Watch.


We also saw the storks migrating

After all the excitement of the evening we asked Torin where he would like to go for dinner. He seems to love Silver Rocks, so that is where we went. He seemed to have a broad smile on his face for the rest of the evening!

On a sad note we had to go home so that Torin could pack to return to the UK.
