Ear Pierced
So today I had my ear pierced again, one in the lobe and one at the top. The other half come home 3 hours ago and still has not noticed. All I can say is I am glad I did it for me and not him. Winner of the Most Obserant goes to the Best Beloved.

88th Turkish Maritime and Cabotage Day
Yesterday, 1 July, was the Turkish Maritime and Cabotage Day. This is celebrated around the Turkish coast. The event started here in Alanya with a wreath being place at sea. We then had a parade of boats which now are the local tour boats. In the past it would have been the local fishing boats.
Other events were a rowing race, swimming race, a parade of jet skis and a display by a jet boot wearer.
The event that really draw the locals was the walking/running of a greased pole placed out to sea by the young men (and some not so young) of Alanya. The aim was to get to the end and retrieve a flag. However this year someone got a bit carried away with the grease and no one was able to get even half way until they throw some sand over the grease. Even with eh sand the going was tough and someone had to crawl along the pole and wipe some of the grease off. At last one of the boys was able to reach and remove the flag.

Dim Çay
Just had a quiet day having a BBQ on the side of the Dim River. It was good to get away from the heat of Alanya. Especially enjoyed by the dogs who got some extra chicken.

WHAT ELSE DO YOU USE A HOTEL BALCONY FOR?

| Towel drying in Kestel |
Always amazes me that all hotel balconys are used for is to dry towels. Never see anybodysitting on them.
