Kusadasi Postcards

A friend in the US requests for a postcard. I thought it's a sweet idea to send one, so I was in a souvenir store the other night to buy. However, they don't sell it piece by piece here. It was three for 1TL or around 21Php. Actually, it's cheaper than Manila.







Will go around tomorrow and look for the post office. In the meantime, I need to think of two more special people to send these Kusadasi postcards. Perhaps, I'll send it to Auntie Jo in the province and to another friend across the miles.

I wish to send something else than postcards, though. The lady at the reception a while back was telling me to print brochures from printingamerica.com. My Turkish is really bad and she was struggling with English too. I was supposed to tell her I don't need any brochure, just wondering if she could print some photos from my archive cos I was planning to use them as personalized postcards. Argghh... we'll see what I can do tomorrow! ;)

Kusadasi in a Clip

Overlooking our room is an amazing view of Kusadasi. The coastline as well as the shops, restaurants and bars are either just a few steps away or across the street. The peninsula, the dock and the expensive yachts, the city traffic, and most of all, Pygale, the island where Agamemnon settled to heal his wounded soldiers and fix broken ships after the Trojan War, are overlooking from here.





The view..

The beach..


We finally hit the beach during lunch. I couldn't afford to strut my pregnant self in the sandy bay so it was just hubby and daughter who enjoyed swimming.

I am supposed to post more stories and photos. It's just hard to type using a tablet. Ugh, I regret not bringing a laptop. Next time nalang. Promise! ;)

At Home in Istanbul

I should've posted this last week, but better late than never, right? So here we go..



 


As you know from my previous posts, we finally rested, no more jetlag, started shopping and now on a roadtrip. The little one is happy to be reunited with her aunt (which she rather call tita), cousin and grandparents.

She would ask about home from time to time then remembers that we are on a vacation. Anyhoo, here in my in-laws' house, we feel at home as much as hubby. I can't say that I love it here cos I believe there is nothing feels like your own 'home' but at least we feel good and taken cared of.

On a normal day, the little one would just play with her younger cousin, sit on the comfortable bed of their grandparents and play tablet or jump together. The fact that they use a memory topper helps a lot. She is enjoying more than ever.
