Jun 12: Yaniklar – Sunset concert at the Mediterranean Sea!
Rosie Simpson: “videos from my magical evening at Yonca Eco Lodge at Yaniklar. As the evening got darker Scott Jeffers Traveler faded into the background and the frogs became competitive to see who could sing louder. Music was just awesome especially in that setting… darkness is falling but the music just gets better.”

June 22: It’s time to hike down to Butterfly Valley again.
A short clip about halfway down the cliffs of Butterfly Valley.
They say it is a dangerous and difficult hike… It is not as steep as it looks. Judge the horizon from the blue in the top left corner…
After a great hike down, walking through tall grassy fields, swimming in the sea, writing music by the Waterfall and then hiking up the cliffs in the dark, I feel like I burned off a million calories. The muazzin call goes off as i reach the top and echos through the canyon. The guy singing has a great voice… I love all the different muazzin calls from different countries. But Turkey had the most melodic one I’ve heard.
Sunset concerts at the Mediterranean Sea!

Rode my motor bike up the Turkish coast today. Beautiful scenery and cool beaches…
I’ve decided swimming in the sea will be my cardio exercise instead of the treadmill

July 3: I stayed in the mountains above Antalya last night by the freezing cold river… the current is stronger than it looks
July 5: Lycian way – near Fethiye
There is a cool little beach on the way to Cennet. I swam there for a bit. I love deserted beaches.
8 hours of hiking today on the Lycian Way. On the way I ran out of water. I finally reached a beach with a few people on it and they offered me a bottle of water, I drank about half … so as I continued hiking I heard a noise from the bushes, I thought it might be a bear; but it turned out to be two lost hikers who had run out of water. So I gave them the rest of my water. They were so thankful. By this time it was dark; they asked if they could follow me, because I seemed to know the way… I was really happy when the Sun went down, it was hotter than hell out there… The trail is difficult, but every once in awhile there is a mark on the rocks to help you find the path. Thank God for my $20 Turkish cell phone that has a flashlight on it. The flashlight was on for 4 hours and didn’t run out of batteries! We finally made it to a village, the hikers were so happy and offered to buy me a beer. Of course, I don’t drink beer so they bought me a big bottle of water. I’m beat, feel like I hiked for 1000 miles.
