Winter in Kalkan
« on: January 09, 2018, 05:31:33 AM »
We arrived at Dalaman on the evening of 3rd Jan in the pi**ing rain, not the best start !

Thursday was cloudy but dry to start off with. We went to Aqua for dinner and the rain was Sooo loud bouncing off the restaurant roof (is was quite busy in Aqua, must of been at least 20 people in). It rained all night. Our garden must of really enjoyed it. Saturday was lovely and sunny and that is how it’s been since. The last 3 days have been amazing weather wise, it’s been glorious  8). We have sat or laid on sun beds outside while reading. In the direct sun it’s been very warm even hot (red faces prove this)

Sat now watching the sun creep over the mountains so hopefully it’s going to be another lovely day.

It’s a tough life !!!

It looks like May in our garden. Roses and bougainvillea in full bloom. It's time to change into sunbathing clothes again.

Well you seem to have put the 'mockers' on this morning onelove, but at least the winds have eased.

I guess if I were in Kalkan right now I wouldn't mind if the weather wasn't warm and sunny every day. Its pretty rotten at home - cold and miserable most days with the odd day having lovely blue skies and sunshine but absolutely freezing.
Enjoy!
What's the exchange rate like, onelove?

Not the greatest day yesterday weather wise. Cloudy & wet first thing. Then dried up for a while until later in the day when it rained & rained. Had a ‘small’ lightning show early evening which we Always love to watch. Again, very mild.

This morning it’s cloudy, calm and again very mild. We went for a walk first thing (8:30) and I had to take off my jumper, got quite a sweat up.

After the morning clouds cleared yesterday we have a beautiful sunny day, albeit, to bit of a breeze in the afternoon.

This morning we were just about to go in our regular walk around town but as it was such a lovely bright morning so we decided to go to Patara instead for a walk. Great shout. Got there @ about 8:45 just as the sun was slowly raising over the mountain to the left as you enter the beach from the boardwalk. Wow, what an amazing beautiful place Patara is on a bright sunny winters morning. We walked for 30 mins then turned around and walked back, not another person (or dog !) in sight. We stopped off on the way home for a cay, ahhhh, just perfect.

For the rest of the day we have had clear blue sky’s, not a cloud in sight & wall to wall sunshine. Prob the best day, weather wise, so far.

A bit of shopping then a late lunch eaten by the pool. Then sat outside reading, just come in now as the sun starts to lose its strength about this time ..17:30

Cloudy this morning but, still very mild. Went walking in just a t-shirt but still got a sweat going. Cloudy all day with a few very light showers later on. This evening was a tad chilly (let’s get ‘chilly’ right, chilly for Kalkan that is) had to blast the air con on heat for 1/2 an hour.

Prob the worst day weather wise since we arrived on the 3rd. Even so don’t think I’ll be scraping ice of the windscreen tomorrow morning 🤪

Yesterday morning started of very cloudy so we decided to take a drive to Fethiye as we needed to buy a few things for the villa. Plus wanted to go to the New ‘Metro’ cash & carry. Great shop 👍

Anyway back to the weather. The cloud soon cleared and we were treated to another sunny mild/warm day.

Last night the heavens opened and it was VERY windy. It was still raining & windy when I got up @ 6 😩. 11:30 now and the rain has nigh-on stopped but the wind is ‘Crazy’ time to batten down the hatches.

Weather never got any better today... cloudy, wet & windy, but not to crazy like last night.

Aircon on on heat @ 17:30. We must be getting soft as it’s not really that cold at all :-))

No you don’t need one Chrissy. You just need money 🤪

There is another cash & carry in Fethiye called Tespo you do need a card there though.

We had a Very windy, wet night last night. The wind was So loud it kept us awake most of the night, it was howling 😩

This morning we still have the wind but, nothing like last nights 👍. The rain has stopped.

Now, 10:30, we have a beautiful sunny 🌞 morning with clear blue sky’s, albeit, the wind has a slight chill to it, so it’s C f K (Chilly for Kalkan)
