Supporting the Irish!
After a 7 hour bus journey, I arrived and met up with Tim. I was staying at Club Nena, but the Tennis and players were at the Ali Bey next door, and once I'd negotiated the security I spent most of my time at Ali Bay with Tim and the Irish team, returning to Nena to sleep..

The bus doesn't go directly to the sea-side village. Instead, the big bus drops people off at a small gas station where ...

Back in Turkey
... I'm starting to raise on my face! I eventually solve the problem by putting a towel over my head and falling asleep. I wake at three as usual and he's still at it, trying to burrow his way through the towel. I turn on the light. Absolute quiet. A slower and silent bug flies by. I swat it. There's blood everywhere. How could such a tiny insect store that amount of blood. Was he storing it for a rainy day! They don't hibernate do ...
