Turkey Pictures: Arrival

At the Sharjah Airport


 Mid-flight on Air Arabia heading towards Antalya.

Day 1 October 3
Pitched tents at 3:45am went straight to sleep.
Woke up and had breakfast and a small tour around our camp sight. Mustafa showed us all the different trees and plants in the area and what they were used for. Then the boys fished for about 2 hours. They caught loads and some of the boys even cleaned and gutted the fish themselves.
We had lunch of the fish they caught then went for a hike. We ate some bread on the side of the road. Saw an amazing bridge and some ruins.
Back to camp for dinner. Chicken skewers and veg for dinner. Playing frisbee around camp. Played tag around camp. 

 Our blueberry tents were set up sometime after midnight.  We had our first good view of the campsite in the morning.






The water poured out of a spring and was so tasty.  We filled our water bottles up here all week.

Amazing fresh caught trout with only salt, a bay leaf and wrapped in grape leaves, cooked on the grill.  

In the afternoon we went on a hike up the road.

 There were some local people camping by the river.  They offered to share fresh bread and tea with our group--translated through Mustafa.
