The lira is possibly at its lowest level ever today at 4.86 to the pound.
We went to Alsancak Beledeysi to top the water up, can’t have Soner moving in with no water!
We were still waiting to hear from all the shippers we had contacted. We then decided to try and take some of our books to the Tulips charity shop and they said they didn’t want too many. It amazes me when at Demelza, we take in absolutely everything. I also had a couple more people about goods I had advertised asking me to deliver. It’s a joke, no I don’t have time. Torin did suggest we had a bonfire. That would have been far easier.
We then went to look for Belek (shippers), who are supposed to have a storage depot by Starling. No and no one knew where they were. Someone suggested a place at the side of a shopping Mall in Lapta. We went there and a man there said they moved to Karsiyaka. At least we had a quick glance at the beach there!!
No one knew there, we even went into the coffee shop (where they know everyone’s business). No, they live in a house in Lapta somewhere?? But his son is in the police force. Well, that was handy to know!! We gave up on that one!
We then had to find a decent stationers who sold packing tape that hadn’t been ruined in the heat. We found a new place on the way into Girne.
A dozen rolls should be enough.
By this time a whole morning wasted , we had some lunch and then received an email from one of the shippers giving us a quote. More than we wanted to pay but at this stage we have almost given up and so accepted the quote and they wanted a shipping list. Another busy afternoon finalising boxes and compiling the list.
I think we are both exhausted. We will need a holiday after this! Yes this 4 weeks was supposed to have been a holiday with no work on the villa. Thing never quite work out as planned.
We took a break in the evening and went to eat at Silver Rocks. Last time we were there, they were building the Lapta walk way right across their view……what a shame this is what it looks like now.
Having said that, it hasn’t stopped people going there, it was filling up as we left and there wasn’t a table to spare. I think it was the best meal we have had there and the owner was on the ball going round talking to all of his customers. It was excellent service and food.
I did say to Mal “Isn’t it romantic” as we were sitting by the water’s edge with the sea gently lapping against the rocks…to which he replied “My feet are cold!” Ever the romantic!
I had chicken stroganoff and Mal had the swordfish and then so many extras with them. I just couldn’t finish mine.
This was all finished off with a complimentary Turkish coffee and brandy. Then back to the chaos but we are getting there at last!
