On the way to work

2012:

Not a very photogenic day.  It rained till mid afternoon.  It’s stopped now and has become quite sunny.  We stayed in and played games.  Prepared for a forthcoming roadtrip.

May.  In Blossom.

2012:

We walked to Camlık.  We found the place where, on Sunday, we should have turned off to get to the Selçuk to Şirince  road.  The views were spectacular.  It was not misty today.

2010:

Our holiday in Guatemala was winding down.  Photo taken over an early Breakfast at Posada Belen prior to leaving for airport.

2012:

We got the barbecue going last night and, again, tonight.  The Adana kebabs came in big packs.  Lazy  morning followed by Turkish lesson followed by tea on the beach at Pamucak.

2010:

We discovered that if you go up to the Hotel Terrace in the morning (before 08:30) you get to see the volcano when it is not covered in cloud.  We did like Antigua.

2012:

I didn’t take any photos whilst we were out and about running errands in town today.  This is the view I had whilst knitting on the terrace…  Some of the cushions remain in the roof hut – they were thrown there to protect them from thunderstorms.

Lake Atitlan from the Nature Reserve.  Such a beautiful place.

2012:

We walked from From Çamlık to Şirince.  It took around four hours.  We got the bus back.  It was quite an adventure as we were never sure which trail to take and we didn’t end up where we expected.  It rained in Selçuk and, though we were not far away (and we did hear thunder) it did not rain on us.

From the hotel terrace in Antigua Waiting for the storm…

2012:

We had a storm this afternoon, just after we bought a barbeque…  Still have rain and thunder.  But this morning was hot on the market.  And crowded.  Tourist season is well and truly upon us.

2010:

Downtown Chisec – waiting for the bus to Coban.  We did leave Chisec somewhat earlier than planned.

2012:

We thought it would be a relaxing day.  Our new table and chairs were delivered before breakfast.  They look really good up on the roof.  We were inspired to do some roof cleaning and re-arrangement and we’re very pleased with the result.  It took some time and some poking but we finally got the new e-reader working properly.

2010:

We visited Cancuen. This is us waiting for the ferry man.  We were the only tourists there.  The man with the lancha could not be found.  Someone offered to show us the way on foot.  It was a memorable walk.  And a memorable site.

2012:

We went to Izmir.  I took the parts on the bus, Ashley rode the bike.  We had the parts fitted and rode home down the coast road, stopping off for tea in Pamucak.

9th May

2010:

We moved on to Chisec.

2012:

Busy day – market and cleaning and cooking.
