360 view of Icmeler beach......

Both of us have just had a Turkish massage, arranged at the hotel with Marco. Cost was 40 lira (about £15) for the both of us. This includes pickup from hotel and dropped back to. We Left the hotel at 3pm and on our travel we even stopped to take a few photos of the views. Arrived at Mersoy bellavista suites, which is where the turkish baths was, and was given our own hand mit and shoes to wear. Straight into thermal pool, which was a bit scarey when using the ladder to get in. After 10-15 mins of swimming around, we then proceeded to the sauna room. 15 minutes of being in the sauna, we then had the Turkish bath, followed by an oil massage. It was ok, but felt a bit like being in a cattle market. Personally I wouldn't recommend this place, especially if its for women on there own, or younger women, as they can get a little intimate, due to touching areas they shouldn't and whispering things in there ears in Turkish. 
You do get what you pay for, and in fairness we were given the option of a more expensive traditional massage, which probably would of been more professional that what we had. Don't be put off if your thinking of having one, just do a little research first if you can.
Arrived back at hotel just after 5pm, so now were just having a few drinks we got in duty free, before we go for something to eat.

Our 4 hour flight seemed to fly by (pardon the pun). Probably because we watched a 2 hour film, 40 year old virgin. Off the plane, grabbed our luggage and found our private transfer, with our driver holding our name on a board. Didn't expect a blacked out Mercedes people carrier with leather seats, carpeted, tv and a hell of a sound system. Driver gave us a bottle of water each and asked if we wanted a film or disco music. We chose disco and it was thumping. It was like being VIP. Thanks to DLM transfers.
Arrived at sahin palace to be greeted by all staff, which was really nice. After dropping our stuff off in our room, had a quick drink, went to supermarket, then bed.

Local in Marmaris reckons the next 9 days will be 40c. Hope he's right and it's the same in Icmeler too.
Got two large suitcases to take (20kg allowance each suitcase), which were gonna try to keep each to 14-15kg so we can bring back plenty. Also taking as hand luggage with a 5kg allowance, small holdal and my mini bag that carries my iPad and drugs (legally prescribed, lol). I'll let u know when we're leaving........
