One of the things I find remarkable about places like Brazil and at least this part of Turkey is the abundance of trees and other plants bearing fruit. As we’ve walked around the resort grounds, we’ve seen olive trees, banana plants (they’re not really trees), lime trees etc. B and I had never seen olives “at home”.
The other morning, B saw someone who works at the resort harvesting bananas (for the breakfast buffet I would imagine). One thing I haven’t found much outside of Brazil: people drinking coconut water. While an acquired taste for most, to my mind there’s nothing better on an outrageously hot day than sipping freezing cold coconut water from a freshly cut coconut.
Speaking of heat, this place is a sauna (boiler?). To my memory, it’s noticeably worse than New Orleans, Rio and the (previous) king of all oppressively muggy places, Houston.
