In the morning daylight, we can see what is around us. We are beside the sea on a prom. People are already swimming, despite the early hour. Others are using the open air gym. There are lots of these in Turkey. After a walk and a play in the gym, we head out of town and stop for breakfast in a quiet backwater resort. We briefly play on another gym, Richard has a swim and I top up my tan. Our breakfast stop turns into a lunch stop too. As we leave through the other end of the town, it is clear that in the season, this isn't quite such a quiet backwater but a busy Russian resort. Everything is written in Russian!
Our destination was Mount Olympos. A fascinating mythological site and the location of the eternal flame. We walked up the mountain to see flames spontaneously erupt out of the ground, the fiery breathe of the monster, Chimaera, who was slain here.
Having thought that tonight we would try to find a campsite, such thoughts instantly changed when on our way down we spotted a couple of other campers on the beach. The fiery mountain behind us and the sea in front, time to light the BBQ!
