Been a few weeks since last I posted some pictures, been overwhelmed by builders, visitors and generally tearing my ar$e off to get things ready or cleared up after for builder and visitor alike. So I had a little time today during the Present Mrs Tickets Turkish lessons at the Nil Bar Comprehensive, so here they are.
Calis Water Taxis
Looks like over half the fleet is back in the water, and work is progressing with their new reception and stores/offices.
Another shot on the other side of the Calis Bridge
Onto the nosebag. With Mrs Tickets locked in classes I took the opportunity to pop into Frank Canon's for a Yarim ....... no photos of Yarim as I couldn't wait to eat it
The handwriting aint up to much, but the food is top drawer, and those prices are still good. Mrs T reckons the you get the best Chicken Casserole in Turkey, and who am I to disagree.
Frank Canon himself cutting a pose for the camera. Yes but Frank I want lamb yarim today, not chicken
I took the yarim down to the beach to consume, lasted all of twenty seconds lovely
As you can see the wind was on shore and so the waves were lovely and high, and the wind is getting warmer too.
The Canal work has come to a stop lately, but has restarted this week, down by the Hotel Pelin, which is probably the last stage of construction. In general there is still work to do on some stretches like pointing, coping off and general tidy up. But as you can see from the second picture the roads and paths remain a disgrace, and something needs to be done and soon, particularly round by the town and seafront areas. Mind you it is not good down anywhere as what is left of the roads is dry and the dust levels are the worst. Come on Mr Mayor the canals may not be your responsibility but the roads and paths are, get the Highways Department to pull its finger out
Finally a good thing by the council, the new park opposite the Hotel Sevi looks a treat. You can see in the pictures that Parks and Gardens have their A Gang out getting it ready for the summer.
