Daphne kindly gives us a lift to the Lodge Bar in Çatalköy, far side of Girne. Actually not much more than twenty kilometres from here but takes a ridiculously long time (about three quarters of an hour) to get there, largely down to Friday supper time traffic. 

Nice friendly pub though. Eating area booked for the early evening by the Kyrenia Animal Rescue association (KAR), which also runs the used book stall at the Saturday market. Beverley and Criegan have driven with Pat. Good to see Criegan looking in fine form after getting his new stent. And seems it’s his lucky night. He wins a cash prize for being first up with the name of a song and kindly donates it back to KAR. 

And good meal. Particularly the sticky toffee pudding for dessert.

Traffic less congested going back, but crazier. No regrets at all over not driving a car here. Lovely evening though.
