With an additional benefit of a touch of quinine in the tonic!

Stoop I was joking about Primark, it was a wind-up.   However, I do not buy fake bags for myself.  I prefer the real thing and for a savvy shopper the sales are great for designer bags.  Tell you friends Mulberry have an online sale at the moment.
As for the Jeep Safari's people are always encouraged to book them, even by Thomas Cook. they don't know the dangers.   

I wouldn't be seen dead with a fake Handbag --- or any handbag for that matter   Well, perhaps at weekends

One should be carful at any place that has the "mist" water spraying. This has been a source of many Broncal problems and legionella. ( Sorry about the spelling.) Oh Spell check automatic great.
The water for the mist units has to be cooled Yani, at 10 degrees to work properly. Or heated above 62 to kill the above.

It's based on what we call a "Desert" AC. When there is no humidity then the water evaporates and cools the air by removing the latent heat.
It does not cool with the high humidity(normally) of Fethiye, but feels wet on your skin , so feels cooler.
Tell your Doc if you go back to UK with these problems and have been sitting in regular mist spray areas.

Just read on the internet that Turkey still has foot and mouth problems with cattle.  There is also an outbreak of Lumpy Skin Disease (who knows??)  In cattle in Southern Turkey and they have vaccinated 80,000 cattle are disinfecting farms and stopping cattle being moved.  Just saying as beef is popular with the Brits in Calis.

Up date regarding virus in Calis Fethiye etc , Our daughter has been very poorly  from the virus , she now has pneumonia , blood inf infection  ,immune system so low , and on the highest beta blockers  to calm her down and stop the sweating due to thyroid that was attacked from virus , she isn't in a good place at the moment , and as for me still got sinus problems with earache and swollen inside nose and whistling in ear , , ,,,,, Im not sleeping due to worrying over daughter .
They said it was bacterial infection that has caused all this ..........so fingers crossed she gets well

That's awful Joyandgary, a nightmare for her and you must be so worried. Please God she gets over this very soon. (And you too)

I've always found it strange that whilst travelling around Turkey, you never see herds of cattle or even sheep.  I can remember the old lady taking her cattle from place to place around Calis but that's it.  My sympathy to the lady whose daughter is ill.  I hope she gets better soon.

I am so sorry to read of your daughter's continuing health problems.  It must be extremely worrying for you.  Have they ruled out the MERS virus?  If it's not been considered maybe she should be tested for it.  Hope to hear news of an improvement soon.

Although there are cattle.  A lot kept in sheds.  A lot of meat is imported from Germany and Poland up to 75% as I read it on the net.   It would seem to be better to eat the imported beef at the moment, but no guarantee what you are eating.

JoyandGary, sorry to hear this and best wishes for a quick recovery.. Perhaps worth mentioning to the Doctors about animal disease that seems to be affecting cattle at the moment?

Not sure what breed of cattle is being imported.  I have never seen "fillet steak" sold in the U.K. which is anything like as large as that offered in Turkey.  I was once told by a butcher in Bodrum that it was bison.  I also believe that a lot of the "lamb" is goat.  Not a problem for me but would like to know what I am eating.

However, this is of no help to those with this dreadful illness, and I do sincerely wish you a speedy and full recovery.
