Olympos, turkey

Eternal flames from a natural gas deposit.

Maisie, Anna, and myself decided to do the flame tour. After dinner we took a bus out for forty five minutes up the mountain, walked up another forty five minutes in extremely humid weather, and finally sweating like pigs we took pictures of blazing flames. As horrible as an idea as that was, I thought it was still fun. I didn't get enough time to get a really good picture and of course i forgot my tripod at the camp site. The atmosphere was actually pretty chill when the tourists started to disperse, people would bring their guitars and make a night out of it with wine.

There's Piranhas in the water! So for some reason there was something nipping at my feet and i couldn't figure out what it was. I was there by my lonesome self and four girls. (Once again, a tough life i lead. Thanks for taking the picture Lisa, turned out great). And this one guy we met on the trek up to the flames decided to jump into our conversation and talk about how he was in the Amazon and how Piranhas attacked him. At that moment something nipped me, and again, and again, so I decided to walk away as he started to tell the story. Sadly I was the only one he knew, so from what I could tell the conversation turned awkward and he was gone when i got back.

Fresh water running out into the Ocean.

Along the fresh water stream are a handful of ruins, in fact to get to the beach you have to pay entrance to see the ruins and then you make your way there. I couldn't be bothered with ruins as the cool water was calling to me.
