Reflecting today with friends re our recent chill out holiday in Calis recently of the things we saw and missed several main things stood out.
Trade in the various trinket shops along the road to the bridge looked very poor hardly a soul in them , Eddie in the silver shop whom we chatted to also said he was doing hardly any trade fingers crossed for his cos he is a very nice chappie.
,
The beach looked better more brollies / sunbeds and lots of people on the beach more than we have ever seen , the clean up made a big difference likewise the new deck area and wooden boards on the concrete wall to sit upon every so often,.council staff emptying the bins often , and the pots on the beach, worst offenders of litter that we saw were the Germans around the Mulhan hotel
The rear of the prom road has had a revamp block paviors trees flowers being done , and the ugly add ons to the rear of the buildings all gone, looks smarter with car park bays.
The area along the track from the end of the prom , well worth the walk has had nice changes, new bars on the head wall area, 2 new nomad type tents have been built and at the end of the track Guvens bar area is real smart, well done carol / guven hope you have a great season .
[ pity about the kitchen shack of ply boards /pallets with raw meat on a board, raw chickens in a bin , the tree trunk used to cut up bread and the pile of turkish dough for the complementy garlic starters being made, and left in the open ] ready to be eaten once cooked by the dinners who were sitting on the green chairs in the one on the beach at the end of the prom.we will not name it but look yourself
We found a brill proper Turkish food place in a garden of a little house opposite the
Bezay hotel prices were very cheap and the food excellent[ no rice-n-chips there] well worth finding, Lots of eaters there when we visited it several times, but very good service and big portions.
The main thing we missed whilst on holiday was THE TWINS where are they?
?.
for many years we always had sit down chats with them ,bought fresh fruit and the fresh chilled whole orange drink they did last year @ 2 tl was brill, the supermarket staff did not wish to say where they had gone just said they gone.
were back in september and if anyone knows where they are can the advise us please.
