We woke up early, and after a lovely breakfast, decided we should probably go down to Oludeniz and famous Blue Lagoon before hiking, since we were here and all. It was a steep, hot hike down a road to the beach. It was ok, but we weren't hiking back up that damn road, so we caught a dolmus (bus).

After getting some provisions, and a ride from our wonderful host, we finally made it to the trailhead, at the crack of noonish!

The views were stunning right off the bat. There is a reason Oludeniz is used as the postcard view to represent Turkey. Continuing up into the misty mountains, stumbling through empty villages was amazing. Seeing our first goats was funny, because we were afraid of them. So funny!

Not sure how close we were to Faralya, and because we carried a tent so thought we should use it, we stumbled through the fields and finally set up camp. We washed our exoficio underwear and thin, wool running socks, then hung them up to dry in our tent as we thought for sure the goats would eat them overnight! Sleepy sleepy.
