Our Day on the Trail
We enjoyed perfect conditions while tackling Day 6 of the Lycian Trail. We'd been warned that this stretch would be a challenge, but we never felt over-faced. Tired - yes! But never pushed beyond our limits.
We are spending the night at Likya Garden Life, which comes highly recommended. The facility is more than 4km from our planned track, so we cheated a bit, and called for a ride. Oğuz, the owner, will deliver us to the same spot tomorrow so we can resume the Lycian Trail without guilt.
"Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference."
