I get up and it's another beautiful day. I wander down to the bakery for breakfast and pick up two rolls, and hit the fruit shop for an orange. The guy at the shop refuses to sell me the orange - he gives it to me for free instead. Either I have a healthy birthday glow about me, or he doesn't actually work there. Either way, a free orange along with a nice cup of Turkish tea and some soft olive-flavoured rolls make for a great start to the day.
Edith (who changed hostels yesterday and is now in the room opposite mine, as the hostel I found is nicer than hers for the same price) and I wander down to town for Day 2 of treat. It's excellent - I get into the swing of things very quickly, and I'm a lot more comfortable than yesterday. We learn a lot and I see some very cool things.
My jaw achs a bit in the afternoon due to my exertions but that soon clears up. After some admin and tests at the office, Edith and I head out for dinner. We find a nice restaurant and I have a fish supper while I watch the sun set over the mountains behind Kaş town. While we're eating, some representitives of the local feline population are amusing themselves next to the table. The fish costs less than advertised, which means I get a fantastic supper, drink and pudding for under a tenner.
I need to head back to the hostel and when I catch up with Edith she has a present - some Turkish delight.
I could not have planned a better birthday.
