Mrs A woke up with a burning ear. Symptoms suggested “Swimmers Ear†and we had to fly in less that 36 hours. So at 10.30am, I popped the short distance along Kalamar Road to the Chemist next to the mini market. Expecting to meet a Pharmacist in a sparkling white coat, it was a little different to be greeted by shirt-less gentleman with a very dark, hairy chest. He was so helpful when I described the situation, and supplied some ear drops, and, because of the impending flight, some antibiotics. After 3 minutes I was out of there, having paid the TL45 bill (£20+) but so grateful I had some immediate treatment for my good lady.
Adam came at 11.30am and we went for brunch at his restaurant. He was shopping in Kalkan and had this huge crate of organic tomatoes in his car, every one perfect in every way with its stem still in place.
We enjoyed the Stuffed Aubergine, in its sizzling clay pot – something we had both grown to love this holiday. The lads had Kofte, with the obligatory home made chips. From the terrace at Adams you could see the boats on their day trips, heading for Kaputas Beach, just like we had done the day before.
The Lads sprayed themselves with the hose to chill them down, waiting for our bottle of Lal to be emptied, anticipating the water sports to follow.
Adam dropped us at the quay and we paid TL4 each to catch the little boat across to the Kalkan Beach Club, who would rid us of our surplus cash. We bought a beer with our boat ticket plus TL1 while we looked at the Water Sports Menu. Deciding on Ringos for 3, then Jet Skis for two, we headed for the jetty. Water Sports were provided by Indigo and they were soon on the jetty picking us up. The Ringos were TL30 each, for 15 minutes. Jet Skis were TL85, also for the same amount time, but for that price, you got 15 minutes of 1200cc throbbing Yamaha between your legs; or so The Lads said. And wind in your hair like a hot hair dryer.
Definitely one of the highlights for Scott & Ollie and they enjoyed every second, playing safe on their Yamahas out in the bay, by the Islands.
We caught the little boat back across to the harbour, with our free ticket on settling the bar bill, and back up Cardiac Hill to our pool. The Lads were excitedly replaying their experiences to Mrs A while I was nursing every bone and muscle in my body, declaring I would never pretend to be a teenager again.
I needed something to kill the pain and soothe me all over; Mussakka at 21.30hrs would be a very good start.
