Hi everyone, just wanted to pop on and let you know how the holiday went. I'm really not feeling 100% because of what happened to Yogi, but I also wanted to drop in and say thank you so much for your messages - they mean so much to me.
In short it was one of the most amazing holidays we have ever had, the resort was amazing, just heavenly. The weather was gorgeous (apparently they were having a heat wave)! The hotel was in an ideal place (just a short walk from the town centre) and the staff were fantastic, so much so that we're skipping a honeymoon next year and planning to go back for 10 days in 2014 to the same hotel.
We did 3 trips
Caunos and bbq - which was a trip up to the Caunos ruins, past the rock tombs and a moonlight bbq on the boat
Discover dalyan - turtle beach (we saw 2 big caretta turtles, I got some fab pics - which I'll share once I've uploaded them to facebook), the mud baths and then lake gocez
Saklikent gorge - this was an all day trip, via fethiye (where we bought my wedding ring!!), Tlos (similar to the caunos ruins, so Chris and I didn't go in and just stayed in the shade having a drink) and then up to the gorge - it was stunning, absolutely amazingly beautiful, I wasn't brave enough to walk over to it (as you had to walk through very fast water about waist deep) but Chris did
We had a couple of nights where we had some thunder and lightning, but each day was scorching hot
We also had a couple of tremors from earthquakes in Fethiye. The first one I was stood at the side of the pool and the ground just shook, it was so weird, I actually thought I was just going dizzy until others could feel it. And the second one we'd gone to bed and were just settling down for sleep and it was a lot less strong than the first one.
When we came home all of the staff came to the reception, hugged and kissed me (the shook Chris' hand) and waved us off - such attentive and lovely people, really can't wait to see them again.
I'm aiming to be back next week when we get home, I'm still finding it hard to process what's happened to Yogi (which probably sounds really stupid as he wasn't even my dog), and I'm not sleeping a lot as everytime I attempt to doze off all I can picture is him being swept away (even though I wasn't there and didn't see it)
Hope everyone is ok xxx
