Just had a great week with the other half in Calis.For some reason had it in my mind that we were there 8 nights(dont ask me)so when we should have been at Dalaman we were sitting having a great time at Kings Garden with our friends Mark and Jackie.Upon returning to our villa we were suprised to see our Turkish neighbours with their son and daughter standing waiting for us looking very concerned.Their daughter was just home from Uni and in our happy state after a few bottles of wine we thought they were just waiting to show she was home.No they had been back and forth all night with our fantastic Taxi.transfer man Hasan wondering if they should call the Police or Hospital etc before we turned up obviously oblivious to all of this(our other friends Judy and Ali had also been in attendance)as we were obviously ill or worse in our villa as there was washing on the line and lights on(we never leave it like that when we leave)So now to get home to UK,we popped next door to Mark and Jackies opened another bottle went on the internet and booked a great flight for 3pm later that day.Hasan without a wrong word took us to the airport,said our goodbyes and he left us in a deserted Dalaman.Time to check the tickets that we had printed off whilst drunk and their to our suprise ,we were 24hrs early !So back onto Hasan who returned ,took us home and then picked us up the next day.Can I say he was not going to accept anything for all of this running back and forth but I made him.
Lessons - 1.Always use Hasan,2.Turish people very helpful,3.Check your tickets then double chec,4.NEVER BOOK TICKETS WHEN weeED !
But an extra 24hrs in Calis not bad at all ,after frantically ringing work to cancel meetings,arrange cover etc(arse kicked when I go in at 7am)
