Day one:

Dear diary, I’m in Alanya now. Today we have eaten at the hotel. It was super delicious and I really liked the beef. It was so tasty. Oh, but anyway I’ve shopped a little today. I bought some shoes, some clothe. And guess what? I found the perfect gift for ‘’you know who’’. It’s a dark blue hoodie. The zipper is white and it’s just so damn pretty. I really hope he likes it. We packed out and now I’m lying at my bed.  I’m tired. Ill better sleep so I’m fresh for tomorrow. I’m going to another town. I think it was something with a guided trip or something. Sleep well! <3

Day two: My mom wouldn’t tell me anything, but we went by bus to Colybrasus. Colybrasus is a town from the Roman times. It was very beautiful and it looked very old.  That’s not strange because it is very old. The rocks were loose and the bricks were almost gone from the houses. It was a strange feeling walking through an old town. People lived there once. It was hard to believe. It looked so strange. Nothing was modern but it was beautiful. After a few hours we took by bus, back to the hotel. We went to bath and got ready for tonight. We had to eat at a very fine restaurant so I putted on the prettiest dress I brought along. I putted on some makeup and we went to eat some dinner. A man served our food and it was delicious! The taste was so different but I liked it. Of course we had to see Turkey’s best dancer. She was so good at dancing. It looked amazing and almost unreal. We went home and now I’m lying in my bed writing in you. I’m tired so goodnight diary. Sleep well. <3

Day three: I woke up late and went to get breakfast. After that I went to a fitness center. I worked hard for about 2 hours, and then I went home. I took a long and relaxing bath and went to town with mamma. Oh and diary? I learned some Turkish! I can say mom and dad. Mom is Anna and Dad is papa! I’m feeling clever… I know I’m not but then again. I like speaking another language. Anyways we went to town and I shopped a lot. I spend a lot of money and so did my mom. We walked and walked and after a few miles we came by a Starbucks and went in. I got a green tea frappuchino and my mom got a coffee something. It tasted delicious. We walked home but by the way we bought some more stuff. Clothe, jewelry, shoes. We bought everything we wanted. Not because we actually needed it. But the shops were so exciting and there were just so many. We found a pizzeria and ate some durum rolls. Turkish durum rolls is just the best in the whole world! We went home tired and now I’m writing this in you. I’ll write again tomorrow! Goodnight my dear diary! <3   

Day four: Of course my mom decided to go to the local museum. The museum wasn’t like a museum at home it was more like a big ruin with trees and bushes inside. There was a big squared tower. It was red and high and it was called the red tower. A guide explained everything while we just walked behind him. What he said became boring so I decided to look after animals. I found a spider, six lizards and some locusts. At the end of the guided tour my mom told me to listen so I did. My day in hell was over and we went to mc. Donald’s to get a Kiwi milkshake. It was delicious and fresh and yummy. I liked it a lot. Maybe i liked it a little too much cause I stole my mammas and drank that to… Yum! We both were tired but it was only three o’ clock. We decided to meet some friends and go to the local water park. I tried lots of rollercoaster’s. I met a very sweet girl called Nathalie. She was so sweet and we played all day long. I had lots of fun today. But a day doesn’t last forever so now I’m lying in bed. Goodnight my dear diary. Sleep tight! <3

Day five:

Today was the last day. It’s so sad! I would like to stay here for five more days. I’m going to miss the hot weather but then again, I don’t think I can live without my friends and family at home. My mom and I decided to go to town today. We had to use our last money. At first we get out of bed late and go to the roof. We lied in the sunbathing chairs for two hours dipped us in the pool, took on some clothe, packed down our stuff and went to the city. We shopped for a couple of hours. The time went away so fast and we had to take a taxi to reach our plane in time. Right now I’m at the plane and I’m landing in Denmark in an hour. I’m going to miss it but home is best! Bye turkey, hello Denmark!
