Disclaimer: I must emphasise that I didn’t take any of the photos in this post. They were all taken by ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
melissa_maples, who kindly rescued us from our magical ability to get lost even when given very specific directions, and led us to cake and culture in Kaleici. Not only is she a great tour guide, she is also a fantastic photographer and regular blogger and is pretty much directly responsible for our location choice for this holiday. I’m over the moon that we have her photos to remember this trip into Antalya (we were staying at a resort in Kemer, about an hour away by bus) and that there are several lovely ones of all of us together.
Once Melissa had found us, we determined that the first order of business should be cake. We stopped at Güneş to eat tiramisu. The Turkish formula for tiramisu seems to be as follows:
I can confirm that we cleaned our plates.
( +lots of words & photos )
Tourist family shot overlooking Kaleiçi.
Everybody smiling in Kaleiçi, except for Keiki who was pretty adamant about looking the other way.
Having admired the bay from several angles, we decided to start the hour and a half journey back to Kemer. We’d had a grand time and we figured it was best not to push Humuhumu too hard. She conked out almost immediately, clinging to the bloke like a baby koala, so we’re pretty certain that was the right decision.
It was terrific to spend facetime with an LJ friend I’ve known online for over ten years, and to be treated to such a tour of their city. I’ll treasure the memory of this day out. I’m so grateful to have these pictures to remind me of everything we did (and ate, yay fooood).melissa_maples: <333333333!

We stopped at Güneş to eat tiramisu. The Turkish formula for tiramisu seems to be as follows:
- Remove alcohol, substitute additional chocolate
- Make cream filling as light and fluffy as possible
- Serve pieces nearly as large as baby’s head
- Profit
