Resort life is over, and we were turned out of the room. Now only a tent, independent travel and hitchhiking Turkey True, we did not immediately decide on this, since We did not have return tickets Istanbul-Moscow, and it was still possible fly back the plane from Antalya, put us on the tour. From understanding that you will need to spend another $ 200 on a return ticket, woke up a green creature and tried to resist the continuation our trip. But, by a strong-willed decision, we strangled the toad and resolutely moved from Kemer to the road towards adventure.
We were rewarded for such decisive actions. fast-frozen cargo Turkish gazelle. We were silently put in open body and we flew towards Antalya. It flew since we were driving along mountain serpentines at about 120 km / h. I felt themselves a sparrow, accidentally caught on the wing of the plane. Even eyes it was difficult to keep open when looking at meeting the wind.
Once in a residential area of Antalya, we realized that language barrier is a serious thing. The driver laughs at us, not I know for what reason, and took us to a friend, who seems to be spoke English, but could not help. Apparently not only language barrier, but the difference of mentalities affects. Well, not they wanted to understand that we are hitchhiking, and the bus station is not for us need that hitchhiking is romance and the bus is too much for us simply. After long negotiations, we still hit the track, Leading from the city.
After replacing 2 cars, we were near the airport in Antalya and more had time for our flight. But we are no less firmly drove on, with a guy who works as an animator and speaks good English language. He drove us to the city of Side, which is next to Manavagt, and told where to put the tent, thereby simplifying our task of finding a place.
