C is for CHEF. We were in Mozaik on a particularly busy night with four or five groups waiting outside. And it was a fair warm evening. People who go to Mozaik will know what a wonderful staff Nichola and Dogan have and there were going about their business with their usual efficiency. We had the table just opposite the kitchen and all we could hear from inside was the chef singing and whistle away seemingly without a care in the world.
A is for ADEM. I hope is that my handshake told him all he needs to know about how much we feel his loss.
L is for LOTTY (could not have been for anything else). We were fortunate to be in lotty’s company on three separate occasions. The first was a mini disaster because we had to communicate in sign language due to the ridiculous volume level of the music in the Guitarci Bar. But the other two occasions, dinner at the Grapefruit Restaurant and lunch at the Yacht Classic, were a sheer delight. Best wish to you and Martin.
I is for IDIOTS ABROAD. A group on my flight out who have the cheapest of team t-shirts on which was emblazoned on the front with the immortal words “Idiots Abroad Under Supervision”. Sadly the last two words were as far removed from the truth as the first two were totally accurate. Marmaris 2014 across the back of the t-shirts rather summed things up I’m afraid.
S is for SURPRISE. I won’t bore you with the details but the present Mrs H flew out on the Friday assuming that I was able to get time off work to join her. She was somewhat surprised therefore to have me walking into the Letoon Restaurant on the Sunday at 11.00.
I hope it was a pleasant one.
B is for BLUNT KNIVES (which I have doubtlessly mentioned before but it does continue to drive me insane). I am going to find a way to open a shop selling sharp knives or a place where restaurateurs can have the ones that could not cut butter sharpened.
E is for EXPENSE. We did notice a difference in staying in a hotel rather than an apartment
A is for ALCOHOL. I confess to having consumed far too much. Is “well I was on holiday” an acceptable excuse.
C is for CHARITY. I had the pleasure of meeting some of the committee at a meeting. Just how some of them manage to spend time in the shop I have no idea. The heat is almost unbearable.
H is for HOTEL. It was rather strange being back at Letoon after such a long time away. Mind you, what’s not to like having a large gin and tonic brought to you by Nevra or Hulya.
F is for FLIGHT PRICE which was ridiculous. That having been said, and despite the efforts of the aforementioned Idiots Abroad, both my flights with Jet2 were not too bad at all.
O is for ORIENTAL. We were aware of a number of visitors from the Orient from the time we arrived but by the time we left I would say that 50 - 60% of Letoon’s residents were from that part of the world. There were more laptops, tablets and mobile phones at breakfast than there were plates.
R is for restaurants. As usual we did not venture off the front. My fault not Brenda’s Note to self – try other places next time.
U is for UNBELIEVABLE. That is the number of people who are herded, like cattle, onto dolmuses. If there isn’t a law governing how many people should travel on a dolmus, then there really should be in my opinion.
M is for MOSS. Obviously we did not see Tom when we were over but our thoughts are with him. We wish him all the very best in the latest episode of his battle.
