Beach & Baklava

This was our third winter in Munich and just when I had just made my mind up that I could cope with the snow if there was blue sky and sunshine, this headline appears in the newspaper, "The darkest winter on record".  Everybody was talking about this winter being Munich's darkest in the last 60 years ... this weather was really testing my sanity ... and then...in February we enjoyed a week of warm sunshine, the snow melted, green grass, blue sky, good moods .... winter coats, boots and gloves were packed away, Spring was in the air ... WRONG!! Winter came back with a vengeance...grey is the only word to describe it....also miserable, depressing, bleak, disheartening, gloomy, dreary, you get the idea....I started to doubt that I'd ever see the sun again - ever. Out of absolute desperation for some warmth, I started looking at the weather in Turkey for spring break. I only wanted to go to Turkey if it could guarantee blue sky, sunshine and warm temperatures so we watched the weather like a hawk and waited until the very last minute to book our trip. The 10 day weather forecast was looking good so we booked 7 nights in a resort in Antalya, Turkey. Goodbye grey Munich, hello sunny Turkey!! Whoot, whoot!!

We flew into Antalya in Turkey and arrived at the Delphin Imperial Hotel and were already relaxed in the warm temperatures. These all inclusive deals work well for us; the hotels are wonderful - clean, large rooms, gorgeous sea views and the huge plus ... Henry can eat all day, every day - it's perfect!! The beach was gorgeous, the water refreshing and most importantly the sun was hot!! Yayayay!!! Our days were spent playing on the beach, swimming, collecting shells, reading, accompanied by way too much eating and drinking ... it was 7 days of pure rest and relaxation. The meals were fantastic and there were plenty of options for Nick to eat gluten free which was great. Turkey is perfect for us for our spring break - this is not a sight seeing trip...just a sun seeking one ;-)

We are now 'home' in Munich and Spring seems to have sprung!! Yayaya!! The sky is blue, the gorgeous Spring flowers are blooming!! We made it through another German winter!! Yayayaya!!!
