We ended up getting to Antalya, early evening and pretty much went straight to dinner. This was the first time we had a set menu and I was just excited to have a nice salad haha.
After dinner we headed off for a few drinks. We went to a bar that over looked the water but we couldnt really see anything because it was dark.
Trace and I got a vodka and lemonade.. possibly the worst tasting drink I have ever had. it was so ridiculously strong we had to order a few extra bottles of sprite to make it slightly ok. It was still gross, but I think it had more to do with the fact that the local vodka Istanblu was just disgusting in itself.
After a few drinks at the bar we went to club 19 which was across the road. it was a tiny club with some live music and the 20 or so of us that were there filled the place. when we walked in we thought it was a guy singing, once we saw the band it was actually a girl which by our tour leaders comments was definitely a girl but i still strongly believe that it was a tranny. it had to be. there is no other option for a manly looking face plastered in makeup, ridiculously long fake hair and the manly voice. tranny.
the club was pretty fun, they played turkish music so we couldnt exactly sing along but it was still a pretty great night.
The next day we headed from Fethiye, thankfully not a massive driving day again. We got to Oludeniz beach where we had some lunch and a walk along the beach. We checked out the Blue Lagoon which would be pretty nice on a warm day but it started raining. We had to run back to the bus through the pouring rain and we all got drenched. my stupid 10 euro umbrella that I had got in vienna many months ago was close to breaking and constantly turns itself inside out all the side. it wasnt much help.
Mitch had woken up feeling really sick in the morning and even spewed on the bus on the way to Fethiye. we all thought it was a hangover but after many spews the whole day we worked out he must have eaten something bad or drunk some of the water. he was sick all night aswell and I felt really sorry for him.
The next day we made our way to Pamukkale. on the way we stopped at Saklikent gorge which was really beautiful, during the summer months its really popular to stay there for a while doing white water rafting and tubing.
I didnt know what to expect from Pamukkale, all I knew was there was white cliffs so I was thinking it was going to be something like the white cliffs of dover. But the cliffs were amazing. they were so white and looking at them up close the texture seemed like it was gumption or something. Apparently the cliffs are so white from all the calcium in the water.
Pamukkale means 'cotton castle' in turkish and is a natural site with hot springs. It was our only warm day of the trip so it was good to take of the jackets, wear a singlet and walk through some of the water.
We finished off the day with a jacuzzi and some drinks and gossip with the girls. a pretty good way to end the day.
