Angst in the Villa: Gone Fishin’

“Whip his legs!” are the first words Martin hears in the morning, when he is woken up to a swordfight, courtesy of Slaney. The fight spills out into the corridor, where everyone gets involved other than Joel, who is in theshower and misses the entire thing. Somehow in the melee, Caz ends up pretending to be asleep in the middle of the floor in all of Martin’s stolen bedding, while Martin tries to attack her with a huge float. Joel is designated the Jack of Clubs 22

Eventually we settle down and eat breakfast (toasties for most people). As it’s our day off, we then head off to the boat. We set sail in the hopes of finding a Catbarrel! We are treated to a pole dance by an old Turkish man. We sail along the coast, past Marmaris and Icmeler, and spend lots of time chilling out in the sun and feeling very smug. We take lots of building reference photos, as being out to sea we have a very good view. We spot a building that looks like Tracy Island, a slide that goes into the sea, and an assault course in some trees.

The boat stops at Turunc, where the Turkish couple running the boat ask us if we want to do some fishing. We join in, Louise catches 3 fish, Martin catches one fish, and Caz catches a huge fish! They are all popped into a bucket full of seawater. Martin goes swimming in the sea, but we all fail to hook him. Slaney has the lead weight from his fishing line stolen by a fish. We all stop for lunch, and hear the call to prayer echoing off the mountains. Lunch is very nice.

The boat heads off again and we stop to have a look at a cave with lots of cool graffiti everywhere. We stop again at a bay and Caz, Martin and Louise go for a swim. They try to convince the Joels to come swimming, but it doesn’t happen. Martin does a jump off the top of the boat into the sea.

We set off again for Marmaris, and while sailing think about how in a week’s time we will be giving our presentations and thinking about how nice it was being on the boat thinking about giving presentations and then we get a bit confused and have to stop.

We pull into Marmaris, and have a last look at all our fishies. They are unfortunately all dead.

We head back to the apartment to begin some work. We stop off and get some bread on the way, Martin gives the box he hit his head on a wide berth.

Caz, Martin and Louise begin some work. We talk about how we are going to build the buildings and Caz and Louise make some. Both textured by the end of the night. Martin sits and does some drawings working out how to build some of the street furniture.

Whilst this is happening, Slaney makes some lovely toasties for us all and we eat some ruffles. On more than one occasion to Martin and Caz burst out laughing, which inevitably makes Louise laugh and the two Joels look dazed and confused.

Weve just finished eating. Now were going to the pub.
