    on the way from adrasan to kaş, we stopped in myra, where st nicolaus is supposed to have lived. apart from the kebab we got, everything there was abhorrently overpriced, so we just took some pictures of the rock tombs and got going again. here, right as my internet stopped working, i realized that i had been scammed by my sim card dealer. until now, i had been the only one of us with data, but we still managed to get to kaş without issue.

    there, after a lot of unnecessary trouble, we found an apartment hotel in the hillside of the coast town. the next day, as we were walking along the shore (like fethiye, kaş is part of the lycian way btw, so lots of hikers there), we got the idea to rent a couple of scooters for the day. they were just 200 lira (6€) a day and more than worth it. i got the hang of it pretty quickly and scootered my way through the mountain villages with my dad. when it surprisingly started hailing after sunset, we even picked up two hikers off the road and got them down to the city. tons of fun. i also managed to drag my parents into an abandoned waterpark we stumbled across.

    the next day, we headed inland for a little mountain hike. i don't have any good pictures, but the villages in the poorer parts of turkey are such a contrast to the rich coast towns, it's actually insane. the people up there also never see any tourists, so we were welcomed a lot more warmly than in the cities.
