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.

While Roger (in the middle) was sleeping on my lap, Simon (the on in the front) came to join him and Prudence just had to come along to join the crowd as well.

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. 

The first week of our little babies growing

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.

Our little babies growing nicely after 3 weeks.

That's our update so far from during our stay in Turkey this May. Until next month.

Much love from Ölüdeniz <3
