The sun is shining and by lunchtime we have found our way to a secluded beach! Here too, the effects of the storm are still very evident. No problem finding driftwood for a camp fire. With only the sound of the waves and the crickets, we sit under the stars by our superb fire and eat the most delicious smokey potatoes, we cooked in it. So romantic!! But before we get too carried away........
Another car drives onto the beach. Three people get out and appear in the glooming, to be having a picnic? Nothing strange about that but when Richard gets up to gather more firewood, they turn all their lights out. Once he is back they turn them on again. Perhaps they didn't want company? A while later, as we watch the night sea, a light appears through the waves. We wait to see the boat that will surely follow it. It doesn't? The light continues to move through the waves, getting closer and closer to shore. Then the light stands up! It is a diver! He is what the other people were waiting for. They all pack up and drive off without lights. How bizarre. We never managed to work out what they were all up to in the dark. Even though we looked for clues in the morning light. Nothing. It was all very odd, a good start to an Enid Blyton novel?
Tues 11th Nov
Progress around this coast is slow, there are so many beautiful views to stop at! We have a coffee stop at Dalaman, if it were later in the day we may have stopped. The sea is in front and behind is marsh land with so much wildlife, we are surprised the whole area is not a nature reserve. In the short time we are there we see: land crabs, butterflies, kingfishers, terrapins, reed buntings, storks and many other birds and insects.
The day ends in a picnic spot overlooking lake Koycegiz.
