The prom was very busy for the sunday craft fayre some very good things for sale, we bought a nice painting from Carole [ ex bostons ] also the dog show / entertainment do at the volleyball area was interesting , the young persons group on stage on the Saturday night were in our opinion very good .
most bars in the evenings were doing very well, indeed waiting for a table at Obens one night and had reserve tables at gunisik one day prior as they were so busy,, likewise a few others along the prom were quite busy , the Mango and the brothers had only a handful of eaters all week we only saw a couple of people in Adrians just drinking, look back a few years ago this place was packed when others had it.
Re dalaman airport what a let down almost the same as the old terminal looks the same except the 4 smokers areas in glass screens but out in the open adjoining food outlets,.
