Chilling out in Turkey

Local wildlife

The flowers of the date palms

spot the lizard

banana plantations in Alanya

Ready for some snaps of Turkey ? First stop - the pool (of course !)

I warn you - there's lots !!

Three little ducks went swimming one day ...

And to think he moans when he gets splashed in the bath ! (Pierre, not Mike !)

We found a new park !

We already had Goat Park, so this one has been dubbed Boat Park !

Yes, you've guessed it - Pierre thinks the boat belongs to Iggle Piggle !

iiiiigggggglllle .... !

This is the effect that In The Night Garden has on Pierre (and Juliette, who only looked round for the photo !). The first thing Pierre says in the morning is "park ?". If he gets a no for that, it's straight on to "Iggle"? He now says Iggle Piggle and Makka Pakka and likes nodding along with the Tombliboos !

We have a new swimming pool !

Well OK, a paddling pool ... but this time next month it'll be the real thing in Turkey !

Pierre was too shy to go in - he sat on the side and played with the floating toys in the water !

Which left extra space for the girls so they weren't complaining !

Festival of the sea

Juliette's feet could only just reach the pedals on the pedalo !

This boat and the red one below are the two that we went on yesterday to visit

Sophie on her surf-bike !
