Kas and Fethiye

Caught a ride with a father son team from Britain with their rented jeep. They got me halfway from Olympos to Kumluca, a city of greenhouses as ar as the eye can see... amazing! I took a bus the rest of the way to Kas.
Kas is a neat little coastal diving tourist town where I got 'stalked' by a guesthouse manager from the bus station.. I ended up not even looking at his place. The place I did stay had heard about the episode.. funny.. glad I handled it well . small town! There was a girl from Calgary, Canada in my dorm.

Fethiye was interesting. Beach is a not-too-cheap 20 min bus ride away. Stayed in 'Ideal' hostel... just missed some friends who turned out were down the hall and probably checked out just after I checked in... met up a stop or two later with Ari (22month traveler who I first ran into in Cappadocia, then Olympos). Made new friends including catching Janika dropping out of the sky on her first paraglide... fluke pictures! No.. I didn't paraglide.. a few reasons including the price.
