And so the world spins: In the sun

Today is the official food market day in Kemer. Just outside our hotel. The space I thought was a parking lot with roofs of corrugated steel turned into a simmering market place with everything you could ask for! Fresh vegetables, cheese, sausages, spices, nuts, fish, dried fruit and also cooking utilities and other things you might need for taking care of your home. Got to see the locals, wander around and enjoy the different smells and sounds and quickly learning that you wont be walking around undisturbed for long.

I'm definitely used to or comfortable with being approached by people all the time, constantly trying to sell things to you. I really wanted to look at some of their foods and spices, but being pushed into looking at stuff all the time just brings me out of mood. So we ended up buying nuts and fruits from one of the few females on the market, the only one who didn't try to force them upon us.

We also got our hands on some good spices, which I look forward to taste when Sofia cooks for me next time, and I found some awesome hibiscus tea!

I practiced my haggling skills and was probably duped, as should be.

After 30 min we hastily made it out of the market place, happy with our findings, desperately in need for some privacy and ready for some more calming activities.

Backpack packed with water and the newly achieved nuts and berries, we went on our way to explore the rest of the beach, that we didn't visit yesterday.

Since I haven't fully recovered from my chest infection we figured it was better to take it easy another day to let the antibiotics have their full effect.

Venturing down one of the more boring streets of town we recognized the pleasure of visiting this town in low season. Many of the hotels are still not opened so the place isn't to crowded. We ended up quite far down the beach and enjoyed the sun, the smells and sounds of the sea and the sights.

After starting the walk back along the beach we concluded that a beach filled with rounded stones of various sizes really gives you a good work out.

The turkish coffee at one of the restaurants by the see felt like a well deserved treat, and hadn't it been for the slightly piercing wind I would've been happy staying there for the rest of the day.
