Early in the morning I come through Taslica again - people recognize me again and ask me whether I enjoyed it and such, very nice. The shopkeeper gave me a small bottle of juice while we were talking, just like that.

The day is sunny again, and I'm looking forward to getting to Bozburun, a small touristy town where I might get a cheap room and stay for a night. As I reach the top of the hill to the neighboring bay, the view is amazing - and since I keep looking around so much I of course miss the shortcut down to Cumhuriyet. Well, I go back a bit and take it nevertheless, even though it might after all have been not so clever - the road is not much of a detour, but way better to walk than scrambling down the hillside through dense brush on a basically unused path.

I continue along the beach, the colors of the sea are just fascinating. As I reach the end of the bay, I'm supposed to continue on a small path just over the waterline to reach the next bay, and that's where shit happens again - my foot gets caught on a root hanging over the path and I have no chance to catch myself. Means I fall face-first into the rocky ground, I can barely turn to the side to avoid the worst. In the end I have slightly bloody hands and knee and my head is bleeding somewhere in the back as well. Not a nice feeling, believe me.

After I sort myself and sort of make everything stop bleeding, I clean the worst off in the seawater. Don't want people to think I murdered somebody :D

So I continue hiking like before, but much more carefully and still a bit shocked. I should definitely take a day off, I decide. The path is actually nice to walk and well marked all the way to Bozburun, I really can't complain. Only the last bit feels exhausting again - 3 kilometers on freshly prepared street with puddles of liquid asphalt and a very bad smell. Just after lunchtime, I finally arrive in the town center of Bozburun and eat something at a "Pide Salonu" before I look for accomodation. It's still really off-season, so absolutely not problem there - I take a room, or rather a small apartment, in "Yilmaz Pansiyon" and pay about 12 Euros per night. The host is really nice and speaks English.

Typically for a tourist town, there's also an internet cafe to be found, as well as several small supermarkets. I can really recommend relaxing here for a day or two.

The warm shower I get to enjoy this evening makes the whole world look way better again. I have a look at my bruises, doesn't look that bad actually. I might just continue hiking after a resting day.
