Day 13 - Yali Burun to Kalkan

Got started before 9am.  Unheard of when we are camping.  I discovered a snake about 50m from our campsite.  At least I think that it was a snake, but it took off so fast that I barely had time to think "is that a s...."  We have seen a lot of geckos, skinks, and other forms of lizard, in the last 13 days; but this thing moved differently.

 Fiona located an old water storage cistern behind an abandoned stone cottage.  We filled up here and added lots of aquatabs.  Yummy swimming pool tasting water for the rest of the day.

Then out onto an isolated headland, with lots of little bays, and more amazing views.  After a couple of hours walking we find a small beach.  Time for the first swim of the walk.  The water is so clear, but surprisingly cool.  As we finish up two small charter boats arrive.  A reminder that we are now not far from the tourist town of Kalkan. 

More walking above lovely coves, drinking swimming pool water.  It's damn hot (we would later find out that it had been 32 degrees). The track briefly returns to the aqueduct that I had passed three days earlier, then winds for two hours along the coast into Kalkan.  This section involves lots of clambering over rocks, and in the hot sun is particularly tiring.  At 4:30pm we arrive, looking more than a little bedraggled, at the same hotel at which we had previously taken two rest days.  A lot of food is consumed.
