Zombie: I am the real life living dead. Welcome to my world.: September 2011

So I've been away for two weeks in Turkey and boyf spent a lot of it 'getting his cooook annnn' ie. getting brown. I however being chalk white to start with have come back slightly freckly and a lovely cream colour which is brown for me! It was gawgeous though and I loved swimming everyday, especially when we went out on boat trips. The sea was sooo warm, clear and bright turquoise blue; totally heavenly. There were loads of fish too, those long pipe fish, some black and white striped ones and silver ones - not very technical naming I know but hey ho! It was very salty too, so although it didn't taste too good it meant you were very boyant, handy, if you're a fatty.... We were in Ovacik between Fethiye and Hisoronu which is also near Olu Deniz (the St.Tropez of Turkey). I thoroughly recommend doing all the trips you can as they are sooo cheap, it was a maximum of about £16 each for a whole day out including a delicious BBQ lunch and door to door pick up/ drop off. The Dalayan River trip has to be experienced; you get on a pretty, long boat which takes you down the river until you reach a place where you have a clay mud bath - you get in and get sucked into the mud upto your thighs. It's funny caking each other in the mud and then you get out and bake! Once baked, a jump into the river to wash it off followed by a quick outdoor shower. Your skin feels amazing and then you get into a delicious steam bath and soak for 10mins. Its just a brilliant laugh! They then take you for lunch at a lovely riverside restaurant followed by the second part of the trip. Once on the boat again you sail to where the river meets the sea and off you get for an hour and half at turtle beach. At the right time of year you can see the baby turtles hatching but September is too late. However they did take us to where some fishermen were feeding a couple of Turtles a blue crab (their favourite apparently) and seeing them swim up to get it was just sooo magical and amazing, they are quite big but so graceful in the water! A definite highlight of the holiday.
