... jusque dans la falaıse... lorsque les pıeds ne touchent plus a terre... tu voles pour 30-40 mınutes. Oooofffff! La vue etaıt ımprenable maıs la tensıon dıffıcıle a supporter et les pırouettes pour descendre graduellement assez fortes pour causer de bonnes nausees. Quelle experıence folle ... a ne ...

The stranger in the Istanbul Metro station (along with everyone else who told us this) was wrong. The first day we arrived in "beautiful, sunny" Fethiye, they had the biggest storm they had seen in years. We had plans for a boat trip, or hiking to Butterfly Valley, but with the rain, those were out of the question.

... Centre. We took the train. As we move towards destination we slowly discover what an extravagant place it is. And there we are, with the Palace standing in the background.
