Your virtual Kalkan Holiday

[tortoise lady]

Hi Haybo,

You will be in Kalkan (virtually) the same time as us.   We were due to go on 8th June, yesterday, but a work commitment and the forecast for this week in London has meant we are delaying our travels until next Monday 15th June.

The good thing is that it has given us time to track down and order a super collection of Turkish wines.   So now we have things such as Lal, Cankaya, Villa Doluca all lined up for next week as we enjoy our Kalkan holiday!   Even have a bottle of a Turkish Sparkling White - we usually have one on our last evening of the holidays in Kalkan.   Anyone interested I could p.m. you the name of the Turkish company for the wines.   We haven't got any Efes yet but still hoping.

We have also had delivery of a large and splendid Turkish cookery book to aid our attempts at replicating all the lovely food we should have been eating in Kalkan.   So we are looking forward to our Kalkan visit and of course this time without the hassle of getting through the airport.

We are now here in Kalkan (virtually) and enjoying Turkish wines and Turkish style food.   However.....  The weather here in  actual London has become very wet and will be so it appears for the rest of this week.   Next week the weather is forecast to be wonderful!  So, what to do?   Well the BIG advantage of a virtual holiday is we can "return home" for a few days and then "come back" to Kalkan and sunshine next weekend.   

The wines will still be here and I can order more aubergine etc ready for next week's cooking.   Meals can be taken out in garden in the sunshine.

So a "quick flight home" will probably take place, catch up with a few things and then ready for our "return to Kalkan" and the sunshine at the weekend.   Presuming the forecast is correct....
