Turkey- Olu Deniz
Map of Turkey
The Bonies (South African Slang for Motorbikes) - we racked up over 150kms on these babies. To say we were sad to say goodbye was an understatement. :(
The Hotel - Karbul Sun
Snorkelling in the Med - what a hard life
View from Blue Lagoon toward Olu Deniz
Blue Cave - scenic little diving spot attainable only by boat
The Lost City - built circa 200 BC
Sunset at Blue Lagoon - where the virginal movie was made along with Brooke Shields' name
Nic's getting bungee whipped - how's your stomach girl?
Bitchard's ex-girlfriend (Or is that Craig Lewis'?) - either way guys, she's looking fine.
Chilling at Camp Olu Deniz with some backpackers
Fetihye Harbour - check the big yacht with helicopter on it in the background
The Aussie Gang- Scott, Gilles and Co. - there is only one way to party with these guys and that's hard. Spelt with a capital "h".
The view of Olu Deniz from the Hill
Traditional Restaurant - No one is in a rush in these parts
Oven that makes traditional Turkish bread
A kebab anyone? Tastes very nice, but is very much dicing with death on the digestive front.
Xanthos (circa 500 BC)- ancient Greek city. Legend had it that when the Persians came to invade the city, the men locked the women and children in the temple, burned it down and then proceed to fight until death.
BUNGEE
The bungee chords - We use them until they break?!
Scott flying high and a team of Para-gliders in formation
FRIENDS THAT WE MET
Maikosan - travelling trainee Geisha girl
Gilles and Scott - The Aussie lads who led me astray :)
The American Girls - Sarah, Kirstine and Keirnan
HELP BAR
Just and Rich dancing on the bar in the midst of the obligatory revelry. Nothing like a bit of bonding between the boys
Chowing at the Restaurant - American food and London prices. Good food though and a great party.
SKALIKENT GORGE
The Gorge - The largest in the part of Europe
Rich and Just - I stayed in the water the longest...but I am not competitive at all.
Farking Cold! Fresh water running from the top of the mountain range
The Restaurants on the water - Apparently there are spots here where the fish swim around your seating area and you can choose which one you want to eat. Lovely!?
The public toilets in Turkey. This is THE most traumatic experience of my life!! Why? Standing upright while doing, 3 squares of 1 Ply toilet paper, dispose toilet paper when finished in bin, when flushing stay well clear as waste likely to spray everywhere...more? Nuff said. YUCK!
BUTTERFLY VALLEY
Team Butterfly Valley Boat Trip
Approaching Butterfly Valley - you can only get to this place by boat or a treacherous walk down the mountain side
The Dinning Area - just like being in the bush in Africa...barring the requisite carnivorous animals
Kirst, Nics and Just on the Beach
The pub - Built into the cliff, all the patrons in the valley head up after sunset to drink under the stars, listen to music and chill out. I managed to find myself a nice cushion and fell asleep under the stars. What a pleasure.
Sleeping quarters - Watch out for the mosquitoes. I was banned from here because of my post-drinking ability to snore.
The Sunset - Absolute tranquillity. The only noise was the Zen like crashing of waves.
The Waterfall - Home to a unique species of butterfly. If you walk through this ravine you and stop for a while you will end up getting covered in the things.
Bitchard trying some of the indigenous cultivars
On the boat - Bitchard with his soul mate
DEPARTURE
On the way to Dalaman airport for our departure - all partied out...so much for the rest
Just before we hop on the plane back to London - Dejection personified? :(
