Now for tonight’s missive.
So… Set off and found a place to have my jeans and a few tops laundered….they charged me an arm and a leg and didn’t remove the stains so not too happy with that….been doing a much better job myself. Then walked down to the harbour and the city beach. It’s quite pretty but not too tempting. Antalya is just FULL of Germans. They are middle to over middle aged and look like lizards. They would turn you off wanting a sun tan….they look positively leathery. The other brand is flocks of Chinese piling onto ugly boats for a tour. So left there and charged uphill through the markets. That was nice. Explored a few mosques and ‘roooooons’ and meandered back to hotel for a swim. Couldn’t go out to find a meal so finished up early.
I know I’ve been saying I wanted a day or so downtime but think I’ve made an error with Antalya in that 3 nights would have been enough. I explored the town and am champing at the bit…particularly as time is at a bit of a premium. Another day tomorrow just seems like a bit of a waste.
Anyway, not to lament….just not quite as invigorating as previously and I do feel a bit more ‘alone’ here….a million tourists…..and me :).
I think it will be a bit similar in Pamukkale and Selcuk but then Izmir and back to Istanbul.
