Dalyan – 30th August

I woke up on Saturday 30th August with a cold and sore throat, I’d finally caught what Captain Caveman had in Köyceğiz.
It was toast for breakfast and some Theraflu medication with my cup of Yorkshire tea. I mainly did nothing until my video call with Vanessa at 3.30pm, which I did from my bed.
Captain Caveman and I looked at flights to Vietnam for Christmas and New Year but we couldn’t book them yet as not all of Captain Caveman’s holidays had been agreed by his boss yet. They also didn’t look that cheap as we would be flying the Friday before Christmas. We hoped to go for 3 weeks and would return on my birthday. Ideally, Captain Caveman would take flights from the UK but I would meet him there having flown from Istanbul.
At 4.15pm Captain Caveman got us both Dubai chocolate Magnums which we ate on the sofa together. He’d been in search of 100% fruit juice in each of the supermarkets and finally found some. Here’s what he bought with prices in lira;

Migros Supermarket
Travel sweets 26.45
2 Dubai Chocolate Magnums 150.00
2 Cherry juice 179.90
2 Orange juice 206.40
Total spent 562.75 lira (£10.42)

In the evening, Captain Caveman popped out to see The Aussies and I went to bed feeling like shit. He said he was just going for one in Ozzy’s so I asked him to get me a Chicken pizza from there as they are delicious. We didn’t have anything in for dinner so I was really hungry by 10pm but Captain Caveman was still out and wasn’t answering his phone. I eventually tracked him down to Ela’s Kitchen when one of the owners let me know he was there and asked him to bring me a takeaway pizza. The pizza was ok, but it wasn’t the one I’d originally had in mind so I was a bit disappointed. Regardless, I ate it in bed and hoped I’d feel better soon because we were getting picked up at 2.30am tomorrow to go to the airport, and I had hoped to get some sleep. Captain Caveman didn’t bother coming to bed that night.

Gratitude List
1. Theraflu medication – it’s cheap and better than paracetamol
2. Dubai Chocolate Magnum to soothe my throat
3. Finally getting some pizza.
