Hello
After leaving airport on a Onur Flight which was departing 20 mins early
Was pleasently surprised at the leg room on flight also a free meal was very tasty indeed also soft drinks tea coffee etc.
Landed at Dalaman took us 15 minutes from us landing to getting our luggage
Went outside at 3am to find no one from priate transfers waiting for us
I looked around could not see any one with our name on board and i started to panick
I didnt have Icmeleronline's number handy so we could not phone to ask were transfer was.
Just has we were about to jump in a taxi a young lad was walking with a police man and a board in his hand
I went over and asked him if he was a driver for private transfer he said yes
I was so relieved has we always use same company and 9 times out off 10 Ali is waiting for us has we depart from the airport.
I asked him were our car or minibus was he just said follow so we did down to a main road were we carried our luggage across some flower beds through a load off clay and mud up to our ankles in it
My hubby wasnt amused at all his trainers were ruined his jeans think off mud my sandals and feet covered in mud we thought this is a right start to our first holiday ever without the kids and grand kids
We finally got into mini bus and normally we go straight to Marmaris and we normally get a nice refreshing bottle off water not this time
I was quite scared actually but never said anything we drove to a remote piece off land were one off the lads got out went to a car and started trying all the car doors the boot etc i thought very strange
We drove to another location were he did the same never entered the cars there were locked but it was a scary experience.
I was so relieved when we evenually got on a road which i reconigised
The journey took forever eventually we got to our hotel 2 and half hrs later
We were so tired just booked in and went to bed.
When we got up the receptionist remembered us and i couldnt believe it she even remembered that i left her a lot off toiletries last year
We had a few meals at the new Adam and Eve and also at the old one were we met up with Moira and Geoff and they daughter Kirsty thanks for a lovely eveing it was a pleasure meeting you all.
We were A/I but its just nice to go out a few times trying different things
We also had a lovely meal at the chinese place in Icmeler
My husband went diving while we were there and really enjoyed himself
We went over to Icmeler to see Rami but never caught him around had a few drinks in the Chill Bar which was very relaxing
On the Sunday it rained none stop never saw rain like it in our lives this continued through on and off untill we departed.
Thunder and lightning which i enjoyed watching
We have just booked up to go again later this month
After our bad start we really enjoyed Marmaris and it has'nt put me off private transfers at all even though it was scary not knowing were he was taking us
And sorry John we missed you again i couldnt believe it when we went over to Icmeler and they told us you had flown home the night we arrived
I stilll owe you a few Efes so i have not forgot one day we shall meet
up
Hopefully next July we have got our flights already booked up just not sure were to stay yet?
Crickey Marion you didn't mention what a bad start you'd had to your holiday!!! I would have been frantic. We used tour transfer this year and got to our Hotel in less time than your transfer. I was pleasantly surprised with the new airport. We sailed through. I still love Marmaris and the people there. You are so lucky to be going back so soon.Hopefully we will be going again next year but for the past 2 years we seem to have chosen the week where we have awful weather. Typical.Hope you have another great holiday this month.
Celine2002uk sorry you had a bad start to your holiday, our trasfer was with Icmeler online and had no problems. We arrived back on the 29th and have never seen such bad weather in Turkey at that time of year and we have gone in September for the last 15 years. The weather has picked up again now and hope it stays that way for your up coming holiday, we're going to Marbella for a long weekend on Friday and expect to pay extortionate prices, wish it was turkey but it's for a friends birthday so couldn't back out. Happy holidays
have a great time doodles.....don't get to drunk ...Gavin
I know all i'll do in Marbella is compare prices
This is the first time ever that we have had problems with them
But like i said it aint put us off at all
And for the weather
We have never had weather like it before in Turkey and we always go Sept time.
But we still had a great time
Enjoy your holiday break have a great time
Cherefe Celine2002uk and enjoy yours you lucky so and so
