Come Sail With Me | Turkey Day 13

Come Sail With Me | Turkey Day 13

Comment   

Nothing could beat a day sailing upon the crystal turkish sea, bathing on the boat's balcony, enjoying a bubblegum twister and jumping into the water bays for a good cooling down. I was in a very happy place this day - I loved jumping into the sea from the boat as I've always wanted to! The sea was so so salty so it tasted awful but it was all worth it to complete one of the many things on my wishlist.

Today's boat trip involved visiting 5 different coves, including Tarzan Bay, Samanlik Bay and Aquarium Bay, to stop off at and chill in the sea's waves for an hour or so. It was mesmerizing looking down into the water and being able to see so far beneath you. The turquoise blue of the water was so aesthetically pleasing to look at and to capture photos of.

Unfortunately, I woke up with an eye infection this day so was very cautious to jump in but I'm so glad I did it otherwise I would have totally regretted it. Also, I got the chance to snorkel because the boat offered the equipment to do so; I'd never snorkelled before so it took me a while to get the hang of it. The experience was fabulous - it was incredible being able to look so clearly under the sea (Little Mermaid reference - eek) and snoop at the little fishes lives. Here's to another wonderful turkish adventure today - cheers!

Sorry if you're fed up of my constant Turkey posts, I can assure you I will be back with some more beauty in a few days - BE PATIENT!

Until tomorrow...

A Spontaneous Day Trip To Fethiye Town | Turkey Day 11

A Spontaneous Day Trip To Fethiye Town | Turkey Day 11

It was midday and Jess' parents thought - "hey, why don't we take a look at Fethiye town today?" So that is where we spent the rest of the day and evening. 

After hopping on a random bus in the middle of the road, we soon arrived in the beautiful town of Fethiye. Humidity was an understatement, the heat was intense and walking was a huge struggle - I thought I was close to dying! The only was to try and cool down was to find a shop to get a little air conditioning in our lives - the temperature was over 40 degrees celcius so hopefully you can empathize. 

Strolling through all the little allyways and eyeing up every cute trinket shop was a fabulous start to the day. I love how artsy the Turkish are, their carpet designs really fascinated me as well as all of the pots and designs they create. In the first photo above, you can see that one of the shop allys had a canopy made of multi-coloured umbrellas. This was beyond incredible and I noticed that this was quite a common creation in Turkey, who'd have known? To be honest, it is quite ironic really because who needs an umbrella in the blazing 45 degree heat?!

Gazing as the gorgeous views of the harbour got to our stomachs - we found a restaurant called Limon to have our dinner; I then became easily pleased when I was given a purple Coca Cola can complete with a co-ordinated straw - how fancy!! My meal was absolutely devine - I ordered a chicken pizza topped with tomatos, pepper and a spice. YUUUUUM!

The evening crept up on us very quickly and we head back towards the shops; the scenes were even more picturesque at night time so I snapped a few shots - the glowing lanterns being a highlight. I ended up purchasing a few new makeup items, one being the Comfort Zone palette by Wet N Wild! I've been wanting that baby for ages now.. I also picked up a few gifts for those at home and a deep red ruby ring. The last photo taken was when we departed the lovely town of Fethiye and returned back to the hotel - I was again easily pleased at how my outfit complimented the flowers..I need to get a life (Y)!

Until tomorrow...
