Turkey Karasu Sept 21-26 R&R

This town is a huge holiday resort, though now season is over beach is deserted, except for beach bars still furnished, abandoned food trolleys and lots of rubbish. 3 weeks ago it was covered with lounges and umbrellas. 

 

Our hotel is equally empty, and no one seems to care that our apartment is missing a door handle or that next door one leaked in big storm. Unfortunately the water slides are closed too....

No bikes for hire, but lots of walks and steps to climb will hopefully maintain fitness for next week's bike tour. 

There's time to read lots of books, visit local market, try to have conversations with non English-speaking locals.  There's some confusion with Australia and Austria but kangaroo usually sorts it.
