    Back from holiday (Turkey)

    Last week, we (my girlfriend and I) were in the south of Turkey (Side - close to Antalya) to relax from our daily business. We had a good time, the weather was fine, the countryside was just as I like it and there were a lot of nice people from everywhere out of Europe (there were probably even nice people from other places, but I didn't met them).

    I wanna give you a short view about the things we saw there.

    The sea was very clean, perfect to swim.






    The pampa. There were everywhere very old relics. I found it very nice to see those things.

    We were very surprised to see those Testudos in the pampa. This one was full of ticks and already smelt strange.




    Yummy - what a juicy berry ;-)



    Also very yummy....for lizards:

    We stayed in little "bungalows". I like that much more than those large bunkers (you know what I mean ;-)). I also had something to do while smoking a cigarette in the morning. Maybe you found it also, have a look at the wall:




    Need a hint?

    The last ones. We saw a lot of those Agamas. They are probably everywhere. As it looks like, they can vary their color from bright to dark.








    I hope you like the pictures and the short report.

    Indeed we do.

    Was supposed to go to Antalya once, but then the Gulf War happened and my parents felt Turkey was a bit too likely to become involved.

    @Rhea
    Thanks. It's really a nice spot down there.

    @Stefan-A
    Thanks to you too.

    I heard from people which were down there at this time, that there were some jets flying around. Nothing else. But I can understand the mind of your parents and probably had decided like them.

    I don't think anybody knew how things would play out down there.

    That's right, a good reason to don't go. Still nowadays it isn't that secure down there. I heard of 2 bombs in the last month.

    Very nice pictures. Turkey is a beautiful country, I was there for a couple of weeks some years ago. I had a wonderful time.
