Firstly, I present to you: breakfast! The buffet and Amanda:
The food was fantastic (especially after mildly sketchy hotel breakfasts). Working clockwise starting at seven o'clock: egg on toast (made to order!), fried tomatoes with cheese, deli meat, fresh fruit, and something rather like a doughut. Bacon would have been fantastic, but good luck finding that.
The breakfast table! From the left: a Rotex chapterone whose name I've unfortunately forgotten, Hannah, moi, Fernanda, Blase, HHannah, Maeghan, Amanda, and Derick. Mmmmmm breakfast on a terrace overlooking a swimming pool about three hundred yards from the Mediterranean.
Looking up at the hotel from the dining terrace.
Swimming pool!
Signage! A snack restaurant is vaguely like a snack bar, but bigger. Kind of.
Wandering about the grounds:
Beach! And Mediterranean!
Looking back towards the hotel. Had a taken one step to the right, it would have been a great picture...
Slightly closer...
Money shot! And it really did look that fabulous in person.
Indoors. There were lots of stairs. Fortunately, there was also an elevator.
This was taken on the bus as we were leaving. The sign says "Welcome District 2420 conference 2009." (I assume the "Rotary" part is inferred from the image.)
A series of shots from the bus. I think this truck is a little off-balance.
Roadside:
And about twelve hours later, we were back in Istanbul.
