Merhaba . . . .
It’s that time. The winter
has passed and we are all getting ready to leave for our various summer destinations. Quite a moving moment for
us as this is our last winter in Kemer and that also means that this is our very last Kemer Khronicle (sob sob).
We have truly enjoyed informing and entertaining you over the last three years and will miss it all
tremendously. It’s time to go however. So if you’re coming over to the States any time we’ll be somewhere on
“The Great Loop” – don’t be shy. Fair Winds to all.

Did you know
that single Barbie dolls in England cost £12.99 and Ken Dolls also cost £12.99.
However if you go for the Divorced Barbie she costs £72.50 because she comes complete with Kens House, Kens Car,
and the shirt of Kens back..............

Kemer BBQ
6th March
2004
The first of this seasons B-B-Q-‘s got underway with Kemer hosting Finike and Antalya Marinas to a food and games
afternoon. Thanks to everyone for providing the desserts, to Brigitte for orgainising all the games (especially
seeing Hasan being force fed dressed in Sowesters) The next in the series is scheduled for 4th April
at Finike.
PADDY’s
NIGHT
March 17th
80 odd people turned up for this
pub night in the Navigator, so many so that tables had to be set up in the Club room as well as the bar
area. In true Paddy’s night style, Daphne and Eileen decorated the rooms with green balloons, flags and
shamrocks. Fish pie or beef cooked in Guinness (Efes?) was served with traditional Irish music playing in
the background. This was followed by an Irish quiz by Jan on “Aurora” which I believe was won by Jim – was
that allowed? And then poetry and limericks read by anyone who wanted to stand up and recite them – thanks
Mary, Tony, John and any others I have missed. A good night had by all and the Irish coffee went down a
treat.

Sunday Outings
TERMESSOS
March 7th 2004
About 40 or so of us made the annual pilgrimage to Termessos this year and after a bit of a hair raising bus
ride up to the site we all headed off in our different directions. After lunch and a climb to the lookout point
Julie showed some of the faithful exactly where to find “Bigfoot” as we will not be here next year.

PUZZLE OF THE MONTH
(see diagram below)
Four
prisoners are buried up to their chins in sand as diagram,
Each of them has a hat placed on his
head,
|
|
|
They cannot see what colour hat they
are wearing,
They cannot turn their heads around
to look behind.
They do know that there are four of
them,
That one is behind the wall and can
only see the wall,
That three are the other side of the
wall in a line,
That they are each wearing a hat,
Two of the hats are black and two are
white.
FACTS:
A can only see the wall
B can only see the wall
C can see B and his black hat
D can see C and his white hat and B
his black hat,
They cannot speak to each other
There are no holes in the wall
There are no mirrors on the wall.
The guards tell them that they are
all going to be shot in four minutes unless one of them can say what colour hat he is wearing and explains
how he knows this, i.e. they cannot just guess.
Before four minutes is up one of them
has worked out what colour hat he is wearing and explains how he knows.
Which one worked it out
and how?

Poet’s Corner
A KEMER FAIRY TALE
Once upon a time there was a
handsome Prince called “Glenlyon” who fell madly in love with a beautiful
Princess called “Lady Aeolus” who was the only daughter
of the Countess known as “La Gabriella”.
The beautiful
Princess had been a very “Patient Lady”
waiting to meet her Prince Charming, and when he proposed marriage she replied excitedly,
“Gladlee” my
darling and “May”
I ask my dear friends “Zelda”,
“Meg” and
“Harriette”
to be my bridesmaids? Her Prince replied “Y-Not”.
As the wedding day approached, the bridesmaids went out
amongst the “Mulloka II” collect some “Protea” and
“Pimpernel” to use in the bridal bouquet.
During their
“Transit” to the
forest, they came upon a beach and found a “Whistler”
and a “Sooty Albatross”
standing behind a “Little Maid”
and all were staring at a large unusual shaped container which had washed onto the foreshore during a recent
“Gale”.
The small girl exclaimed, “This is indeed a “Different Drum”.
An elderly Spinster called
“Valerie Jean”, approached the group and greeted them with a large “Hou Dou”.
In a strange voice she whispered “Could this be the “Dutch Link” we have been
hearing about from the hermit who lives on the hill? I will take a “Wee Punt”
that the “Rascal of Rhu” must be involved in some way.
The small girl, the
fifth in her family to be called “Helen Mary”,
joined the conversation and announced with total
“Independence” that all sorts of
“Hokus Pokus” was
said to take place behind the “Venetian”
blinds of the house on the hill. She said her older sister
“Annapurna” had peeked one day when the blinds were open,
and had heard the hermit say that a “Wandering Bowman”
had appeared in a “Vision”
and had told him that evil forces were going to try and prevent the marriage of the prince and princess. This is
probably the time to tell you that the hermit was quite fond of a
“Campari Chaser”
or 2 and often felt these “Rythms”.
The bridesmaids left this gathering and
returned to the castle to help the |
|
|
princess prepare
for her wedding day which was to take place on the first day of
“June”. The
princess said to her mother “you “Simar”
the prince and I will have to pay for some dance lessons because Mar, I want to make sure we
“Toucan Tango”
correctly”.
What a lot of “Rhubarb”
yelled her cousin “Christina”
who was seated near by. My sisters “Frida”
and “Ronja”
can teach you free of charge. There is not need to “Squander”
your money, you just have to “Lycka”
your lessons.
On the night before
the wedding, the wizard “Gandalf”
appeared suddenly in a flash of light as bright as “Ganymede”
and as spectacular as the southern “Aurora”.
The wizard looking like the “Star of the West”
hastened to the princess and said “here drink this
“Aqua Magic” for
tonight when the “Moonbi”
high and the “Plume”
of the ancient peacock which adorns the statue of the “Jade
Woman” begins to sway in the gentle
“Zephyrus”, you
will see a large rock fall and block the entrance to the castle. The prince will not be able to reach you in
time for your wedding. “Noroc”
will stop my wedding from taking place screamed the princess”.
The
“Mystic” advised
“if you tie these “Three Sheets”
together and scramble away while the rest of your family are occupied with their usual game of
“Piquet”, you and
your prince can begin a new “Aventura”.
The princess did as
the wizard instructed and was soon on her way to meet her prince. She made good progress for she was no
“Jaywalker”.
Both the prince and
princess knew their love was the “Quintessence”
of all loves. The prince had borrowed a fast sailing boat called
“Rafiki” from his
friend “Rotirik”
who lived near the little church of Saint “Antonella”.
The happy couple were secretly married in a quick ceremony and soon were ready to slip away from the dock with
only their dear friend “Maria Mia”
for crew.
Quietly casting
off, they set sail with fair winds and a clear “Indigo”
sky and, keeping to their “Rhumbline”
they headed towards a new land where they could live in peace. Upon reaching this new land, the happy couple
shouted loudly “Heureka”!!
we have outwitted those who tried to stop our marriage.
The young couple soon began to raise a
family. First born was their daughter
“Lul Lul”
and when she was “Knot Yet II”
they produced a son “Renos”.
These |
|
|
two were soon
followed by the twins “Sanna”
and “Elnido”.
The castle “Icini” which
the prince had purchased when they first arrived in the new homeland, was soon too small for the ever increasing
family, so when the triplets “Marjolijn”, “Nutmeg”
and “Ilga” arrived, they moved into the new residence which they named “Kagedamo
3”.
The prince and
princess were very fine parents to their many children and taught them that the
“Precept” for a
long and happy life was to always have the correct “Attitudes”
and “Bingo”!!
Good luck will always be yours.
The children of the
prince and princess soon reached the age when, one by one, they left the family home to “go it alone”. One
summer “Equinoxe”,
the prince said to his eldest boy “go forth my son and enjoy your life to the fullest and take these parting
words with you; “Carpe Diem”
(seize the day). Soon the eldest daughter sailed away with her boyfriend Gus and she went with her parents
blessing “Forgus”
was a fine young man. This young couple were headed on a
“Wayward Wind” for the
“Farr Niente”.
As the years
progressed, the prince and princess waved goodbye to each of their offspring who sailed away to far off places
such as “Aloata”, “Boya”, “Eldfageln”, “Enarkay”
and “Fafin”.
The by now middle aged parents decided the time was right to sell the large family home, invest in a comfortable
sailing boat called “Cantana II”
and sail off into the sunset themselves.
Cruising along on
their retirement love nest in company with their beloved pet
“Bonita”, they soon made friends with other retirees, so,
together with “JJ Moon”, “Lectron”, “Perseus”, “Stromfageln”,
“Tayfun” and
“Toobaru” they
traversed the oceans and seas until the year 2003 when they arrived in the magical town and marina of
“Kemer” where
they all loved happily ever after under the watchful eye of King
“Hasan” and his
merry band of assistants.
“Y-Not”
