The Lycian Coast

Wednesday 2nd April

We went out before breakfast to take some pictures in the town.    We were shown round by a dog.   The dogs have a tag in their ears to indicate that they have been neutered, most of them do not have owners, but manage on food put out for them.   It is the same for the cats, but they do not seem to be neutered and we saw some pregnant ones...

We  walked from the hotel along the coast past the theatre to look for Ophrys Ferdinand Coburgii.   We found a reasonable specimen which delighted the orchid enthusiasts.

We then set off in the minibus for Sinekcibelli Pass winding up the mountain on a very precipitous road.   We stopped to search for plants from time to time and had a picnic before more plants then returned home via a different route.
