Hakan

This is Hakan our waiter at Taj Mahal, our favourite restaurant in Didim. The artist is Dylan, (see yesterday) who was my dinner companion tonight, along with his Mum, Dad, brother, and Graham.  In the sketch (which is published with Dylan's permission), you can see a delicious (hanging) garlic nan as well as our drinks, brought to our table on the trolley by Hakan, who's carrying some popadoms which fill our tummies while we wait for our main meals.  The LED lights in the ceiling are very attractive, as is the red embroidery on the front of Hakan's shirt. Hakan has long hair tied up and of course he wears a mask, in these days of covid-19, but we still see his eyes smile when he brings us our food and drinks. We like Hakan. He is very good at his job.


Extra: social distancing sunbathers on Altinkum beach, as seen from Topkapi restaurant where Graham and I had brunch 

Weather watch : hot sunshine, glorious blue skies @ around 28ºC
