Ölüdeniz (Blue Lagoon)

,

I went to Turkey for first 2 weeks of June for holiday to see family, friends and enjoy the sun. 2 weeks might sound like enough but it was short as I tried to catch up with some different groups of friends and went to the sea side for one week. I booked a very cheap hotel in Fethiye and was off without any expectation and unfortunately alone.

The hotel was somewhere between Fethiye and Ölüdeniz which literally means dead sea because it is not wavy at all. It is the only lagoon in Turkey I read somewhere. I knew that it was a perfect place to do paragliding but I didn't really consider flying before I arrive there.

You see me on the left hand side with my pilot as doing tandem paragliding, just before landing. It was the most relaxing thing I have ever done, there is no sound other than wind and I didn't feel like falling down at all. It is difficult to express how I felt but I can say that it was peaceful.

Another nice thing about the trip was to find a restaurant that I remember seeing 15 years ago. It is beautifully decorated with fishes (real one in nice vivaries and paintings, etc.) and it had all my attention as a little girl. When I saw it again on the beach as looking for a restaurant to have lunch I felt very happy, because I could actually sit there, enjoy the comfortable seats and good food. I hope I can have such a moment 15 years later on earth somewhere again.

Do you know how it feels to be homeless?Saw a fox in Brussels!
