We have just returned from a wonderful 6 days in Turkey. We went to a place called Kas on the Turkish coast with 6 of our friends and had a fantastic time. Here are some photos of the trip.
Alby was an absolute star the whole holiday. He was great on the plane and didn't complain too much about the 2am wake up call to get the 6am flight... He slept and bit and played a lot and then slept again on the 2 hour car trip once we got to Turkey.
Here he is on his first plane ride...
This is the amazing Villa we stayed in.
The food was incredible - so fresh and tasty. This is breakfast...
Alby ate outside for most meals. Mostly enjoying himself
He did lots of swimming - and had loads of sunscreen protecting that lily white skin!
Just like his Dad.
There were lots of hammocks to sleep and hang out in.
And the beach down the road.
Alby loved swimming in the sea and playing with his new friend Stan.
And other new friend Dion.
This is the view from our balcony.
The sunset.
And Cat by the pool.
Don and the boys went mountain biking for the morning. And this is what they saw.
And this is the resident tortoise.
An early evening play with Alby's new friends. Jamie, Gareth, Cat and Stan. Nat was there too just out of shot.
Gareth and Cat.
And a family photo.
More sunsets.
One day we all went on a boat trip. It was another beautiful day and we headed out at 10am.
Alby was ready to go with his sailing hat on.
And helped the captain steer the boat.
One of the other boats on the water.
We went swimming in the sea.
It was pretty deep...
Alby was supposed to be sleeping...
We had an amazing lunch cooked for us.
Fish and chicken on the bbq.
And all the other goodies...
There was a sunken city that we passed.
And this island we stopped off at.
With yummy ice cream.
We meet another baby and the turkish people thought it was very funny calling the two baby's ice cream - vanilla and chocolate!
An afternoon nap.
And one of the two fish I caught.
And then we were back.
Our wonderful hosts.
An typical evening for the boys.
And our last night out for dinner.
Alby and Aunty V.
And us buying Turkish Kilim's
The Turkish people all loved Alby and we have discovered he is a bit of a show off - grinning madly every time anyone looks at him... This week he was described by one of our friends as a 'smile merchant'!
These are the lovely ladies who look after the villa. They wanted to keep Alby for themselves.
And then it was all over and we headed home to Englefield Green. We had the most amazing time and highly recommend Kas and Villa be Happy if you are ever in Turkey.
Here we are back at home. Alby still enjoying his food...
And wrapping up warm in the all in one woollen suit that Gillian knitted him!
Back to reality and settling into Autumn. We managed to miss the hottest week of the summer and it was dark this evening at 6.30. Lucky we are off again in about 7 weeks to spend summer in New Zealand - Yay!
