| Kumluca to Fethiye |
The beautiful turqouise ocean decorated the outside window
of the minibus that we travelled on our way to Fethiye. It reminded me a little
bit of Amalfi coast in Italy, although not as cliffy and packed. Once in a
while we passed some beautiful beaches on the side of the coastal road, that I
can imagine us camping if we were to go on a roadtrip.

We
arrived in Fethiye just before sunset and got picked up by our lovely host,
Linda, who has invited us to house and baby sit her little ones while she will
be going to the UK. We got to her place in Oludeniz where mount Babada stands
proudly in front of us. As we entered the front gate, we were greeted by 4 dogs
-Bella, Alfi, Rose and Betty- and we then were introduced to the rest of the
member of the family consisting of another 3 dogs -Harry, Blondie and Bentley-,
and 31 cats (Must I announce all their names? Sure, why not.) -Roger, Macie,
Simon, Prudence, Florence, Gracie, Jeanie, Toby, Lillie, Megan, Jeanie,
Beatrice, Sean, Sidney, Poppy, Georgie, Rodney, Misha, Naomi, Timothy, Amber,
Chloe, Oscar, Felix, Robert, Molly, Annie, Penny, Brian and Peter-. Everyone,
accept Simon (the 'don't like strangers' cat, although now we are both in love
with each other) and Bentley (who's not fond of strangers either, especially
male), were excited to meet us, I was extremely excited myself. It's really
nice to -again- be surrounded by the little furry ones.

Oludeniz itself is not what I expected it to be. If it were
to be left alone, it might have be an absolutely beautiful place, but the
beauty of the surrounding, unfortunately, has been taken advantage of by the
locals. Therefore almost all the beaches available are not free and all prices
for everything here are quite expensive, even more than Greece (which so far we
have found to be the most expensive place we've been).

After house sitting for a few weeks here, we have been
invited to stay for as long as we like, so we are taking this oppotunity to
manifest our time to waterfast for 40 days (for Mats), as for me to manifest
the lifestyle that I have been dreaming of for months now, which is to become a
breatharian. We also take opportunity to grow some herbs.

| A new member of the family came in to join us (Alistair). Betty who's so kindhearted, allowed Alistair to sleep with her one night. It was so cute when we found them together. Bella's fast asleep in the background. |

That's our update so far from during our stay in Turkey this May. Until next month.
Much love from Ölüdeniz <3
