A short taxi ride from Kemer (where we had been staying) takes us to Goynuk Canyon to resume the walk. The forecast is for rain; but with only two or three days remaining, we are both now very focused on finishing the walk.
We gain altitude all day, from sea level to 1400m; with heavier then usual packs as we are carrying two days food to allow us to camp out tonight. It rains lightly during the day, but the overcast weather is a welcome relief from the 32 to 34 degree temperatures that we have been experiencing recently. Fiona is in fine form, enjoying the lower temperatures and powering up the hills; but with the end in sight, my body is "over" the Lycian Way.
We camp out in a forest at 1400m, and cook dinner in the rain for the first time on the trip. This is unexpected as numerous locals have told us that there will be no rain after mid-May. Fortunately we had decided to keep our wet weather gear, as we had been considering posting it back to Antalya.
Camp MacArthur Park. Note Fiona's replacement replacement sun hat hanging in the tree. She has lost her replacement sun hat. Even two sun hats down we are still ahead, as we have found: a watch, a pair of sunglasses, a hunting knife, and a bikini.
