It has been a quiet week news wise as we have settled into the village lifestyle here in Orhaniye and not done too much at all. The weather is still really hot, but fortunately our small apartment is high enough to catch the breeze. However we did go to the supermarket in Marmaris to buy an electric fan.
Most of the week I have been down at the marina helping Terry work on his boat, he has a charter in a few weeks time so a deadline is approaching. I’ve been enjoying it and it’s good to feel useful for a change even if I have felt like I have done a full weeks work. Friday night was the 08/08/08 party at the marina, starting with a BBQ followed by a belly dancer and lots of dancing till late, so that was a fun night.Our biggest piece of news is that we have booked our return journey to Asia, leaving here 19th September. We had planned to go up to Germany and Scotland on our way back, but it has worked out too expensive to do it that way, so we are flying out of Istanbul direct to Bangkok. I’ll stay in Asia and look for some teaching work while Louise will fly back to Australia to see her mum and take care of some business and join me a couple of weeks later. We will be doing some travelling around Turkey before we leave.
Our future plans still include visiting Scotland and Germany, buying or hiring a campervan and travelling through the western Mediterranean. But first we will stop back in Asia and find a 6 or 9 month contract and return to Europe next year.
All the best for now
Ric & Louise
