Oh my goodness, my heart goes out to all those poor little Turkish babies I see bundled up in their strollers with 2 blankets and a couple layers of clothes, red faced, sweaty and howling! And their mothers going 'He must've gotten nazar, that's why he's crying.' It's not nazar, you moron, it's 32+ outside! Don't they know babies are human? The only reason Ender wears a diaper all the time, poor little fella-- those things are thick and airless, even the cloth ones-- is that he repeatedly discovers his boys and gets them in a baby death grip and can't let go. I'm afraid he'll damage himself otherwise I'd be content to lay him on a towel and let nature take it's course! The boy does wash off easily enough. The only reason I make him wear a shirt is that it snaps in the crotch and keeps him from opening his diaper.

We just got back from holiday in Ak�ay, and I think it's really funny how the rules of sickness just fly out the window on holiday-- naked babies on the beach, vest-less men, people in shorts walking around with wet hair... Interesting!

How is Akcay nowadays. I lived there for two years in the early 90s. I passed by on the road a few years ago and was shocked at how built up it had become. I used to live in a villa about 20 meters from the beach in the centre of town......... I bet it is now a concrete jungle Sad I guess the same is happening all around the coast in Turkey

It was really pretty, I thought. We stayed in a nice little villa, also very close to the beach. It was built up, yes, though nothing like here. And there was always a lovely cooling breeze where we stayed in �ren, while it was always blazing hot in nearby Burhaniye...

In all, I really prefer the Turkish holiday places over the resorts. So much more relaxing and genuine, without all the failed tries at being European...

goodness those places are blasts from the past. There used to be a boat from Akcay to Oren, where there were a few bars. I always enjoyed getting a boat to the pub..... journey home was sometimes a bit queezy though.
