    Thanks. Life isn't entirely normal here but it's good to escape the monotony of the last 5 months. No complaints about the weather here either!

    Not too busy. Longest part was disembarking as passengers kept ignoring crew's instructions to stay seated and not get luggage out of overhead lockers until row in front had departed.  Crew quite annoyed. Only 2 groups in front of us at immigration. Had to wait about 10 mins for carousel to start up for hold baggage but then it all came off quite quickly. Found desk for our transfer easily. We were on the bus within 50 mins of landing. Had temperature taken twice on transfer bus before departure. Had to wait for other passengers before leaving - seemed to be using lots of minibuses with fewer passengers per vehicle. We were first stop off at Lara Beach and arrived within 90 mins of landing  - so pretty good. Though first time in Turkey so nothing to compare to pre-Covid.
    ,we wondered how the travel companies got round putting 30/40 people on a coach to observe social distancing
    Presumably in a similar manner they put 200 odd people on a plane.

    Its easier to move 40 people 20 miles to a hotel than 200 people from the UK to Turkey
