By midday, it was hot. Yes, those are Monica's hiking clothes. Apparently the last thing she takes off when she disrobes is her camera.
We met the people in the chartered boat in this photo. They were from Scotland and hiking sections of the Lycian way, sleeping every night aboard the boat. We still had several miles to walk to Demre; they were diving from the boat, splashing about, and getting ready for lunch. Hmmm.
They, too, were surprised at the challenges posed by the trail surfaces and route-finding, and they had not hiked the sections we found most difficult. Several of their number were not hiking because blisters had gotten the better of their feet.
