We decided to stay here two nights as we have time to kill, who knows what the next site is like anyway, the roads are tiring for different reasons & we have wifi! Did I mention the storms yesterday? Huge, massive – lightning that you never see in the UK & thunder like bomb blasts that shake Billy. The roads were like rivers full of silt from the mountains.. Today it was forecast to rain in the morning & afternoon but neither happened. After brekkers a walk into town, 3 streets just all for tourists, mainly Brits, Dutch & German.

Holiday priorities have now changed somewhat. Whilst we both still yearn for the adventure of the unknown we have to consider Heidi as well - and our own sanity when travelling with a little baby - who doesn't want to sit still at all! Together with Nick being hindered by a recent knee operation (on the day of which Nick found out that he would not be allowed to go swimming on holiday as could not get his wound wet - on hearing this news, I had the upmost sympathy but then also had a little chuckle, of course forgetting that I would then be left to run round after Heidi in the pools....), myself being 4.5 months pregnant, one of us being a student we decided to opt for a last minute deal to Lykia ... read more
