Day 078 Finike - Kemer

Puh, I am seriously tired again. Today it was more than 1200m altitude, puh!
Both Jörg and me were on our last legs - only the thought that we will be relaxing from tomorrow on kept us going.
After waking up we found some strange footprints on the beach - only later we found out were they came from - turtles, yay ! Two of them crossed our path today.
Wolle had planned our last full cycling day along minor roads. In the beginning this was a very very wise decision - we cycled along an incredibly clear sea of a colour not blue anymore but magical. On the following first mountain I had my first falling-from-the-bike-experience: my right foot was still stuck in my click-in pedal when I stopped. Autschn. Fortunately it just led to some more scars on my right knee, a loose chain and a shifted handle bar - all stuff that could be fixed immediately. Still getting up the rest of this and all following mountains was quite a torment today. The landscape was amazing, but I did not really have many resources left to enjoy it properly. When we finally reached the top of the last mountain we came to a big road - the Harbach brothers later declared this as the moment when the cycling holiday was over - that is where we got out of the wild back into civilisation. We rolled down to sea level and ended up in the terribly artificial resort town of Kemer. I simply do not understand how people can enjoy holidays at such a place - but obviously there are a lot of people who do, the town is packed with tourists. Fortunately we found a comparably quiet spot on the beach a bit out of town and pitched our tents there.
Sorry to all non-German-speakers, but the following only works in German:

GEWINNSPIEL !!! GEWINNSPIEL !!!
Seht ihr das Bild mit dem deutschen Schild? Der Spruch klingt ja toll, aber ich versteh ihn nicht. Ich glaube das ist ein Haiku bei dem die erste Zeile fehlt.
=> Unter allen Einsendungen einer Ergänzung in Haikuform verlose ich ein wunderzaubertolles Mittelmeererinnerungsset bestehend aus:
- 1 Fläschchen Mittelmeerwasser
- 1 Schächtelchen Mittelmeerstrandsand
- 1 Mittelmeerstrandmuschel
- 1 Mittelmeerstrandstein
- 1 besonders kitschiges Mittelmeerstrandsouvenir
