Total joy, I found oil, not the stuff that will make me rich but the glorious oil for my hair.
3 weeks without hair oil and boiling sun and my hair is crying...if hair could cry, mine definitely would be, and oh did it sing with joy when I applied liberal amounts to it.
Being based between 2 countries is fairly, dare I say, easy. As I said in a previous post ,I miss smoothies, Starbucks, British style cakes and understanding toiletries. I adjust to new surroundings fairly quickly, I am very lucky as Ramazan takes care of me very well, he makes the adjustment very easy. I also have stuff here and in the UK, so all I ever have to do is book a flight, grab my passport and away I go. Its going to be a bit different next time around as it'll be winter and I won't be staying in Dalyan, i'll be going inland, where the weather is colder and the consertavism heats up.
What I have come to realise this time around is that I need to learn more Turkish. Ramazan works a lot so for the majority of the day I am solo. Which is fine as I am used to holidaying on my own, but because I am staying in one place unlike all my other holidays, it feels like I have a very solo routine. So I will be back in the UK for a month before I head back over, and what I MUST do when I back is learn some Turkish, I have mastered some of the challenging pronunciations of letters that do not exist in the English language, as well as getting my head around C being pronounced as J. But I need more vocabulary, and am in desperate need of grammar.
I have been working a lot which is good, cycling a lot
Making nice food at the apartment (I found avocados in the market...not pictured)
and applying copious amounts of oil to my body which makes me rather happy.
Things I've been into:
Oiling up my hair, trying new cafes, apple and carrot juice, loading up the fridge with delicious, unbelievably cheap fruit from the Saturday market, changing up my coffee order
Things I miss:
Toiletries in English, cinnamon swirls, mangos
Things I'm over:
English tourists, Turkish chocolate
Things I haven't been doing:
sunbathing
