More painting and gardening during the day. Late afternoon we went to Ercan aiprort to collect Jill and Val who had been holidaying in Turkey. We waited outside the aiprort for their arrival and were so amused by the policeman with his whistle ‘moving cars on’ from the front entrance. They would move after another 5 minutes, do a circuit round the car park and reappear. There are a lot of people who don’t like paying for the car park meaning it is chaos just outside the terminal. Jill and Val had an excellent time. We dropped them off and then went and had dinner in Dolphin (Alsancak village). I had a really good fish sis and Mal had the mixed kebab, he usually does as it is normally the biggest meal! He had a beer and I had a brandy sour (a good one!) Before the meal came we were given huge home baked bread and two dips. We also had a large bottle of water and two very good Turkish coffees. When Mal asked for the bill, they just said ’50tl please’. We didn’t get an itemised bill but for that price we weren’t complaing. To be recommended.
