...And what about our visas? We left our bikes in Ciralı and hitch-hiked back to Kaş. Hitch-hiking works quite well in Turkey and is a nice way to get in contact with local people and to improve our Turkish. In addition to this, we were given tomatoes and oranges en masse and were invited for lunch (Albert once offered an orange to a Turkish man but he declined the offer, saying that he had around 20 tons at home!)
Back in Kas, everything went quite smoothly. At least in reality (there was more trouble in our minds.. all this anticipation, haha. .like most of the trouble in life). As a matter of fact, things were not only easy but even kind of peaceful: Once in Meis, we walked aroud the picturesque little town, sat in the sun and read our books for 2 hours, hopped on the ferry again and got new visas within 20min. No additional fees, no extra "but"s..- except that Selo asked us to carry 4 bottles of liquor from the duty-free... but so what?
Kas
Our next destination was Antalya where Albert`s mother and uncle came to visit us from Spain for a few days (which they had spontaneously decided just a few days before... and then noticed that they did not have any passports!) From Antalya, we also took a side trip to Geiykbayiri in Martina`s Jeep, where we stayed for a couple of days, rock-climbing under the sun.. 25 degrees in the middle of February, hell yeah!
On our way from Cirali..
Antalya!
It is healthy, you know.... garlic!
This here is Damian from Argentina, another bicycle traveler who we met in Cirali.. he makes a living of selling hand-made jewelry in the streets. Our plan to attract people by having at least two people (us) checking out his artwork with (by the way, real) high interest worked out better than expected.. ha!
Climbing in Geiykbairi (try to pronounce this name really fast 20 times...)
Damian's second time ever to climb, not bad at all!!
