On the Blue Lagoon, Olu Deniz

Saturday afternoon we found our way back down to the sea, the resort of Olu Deniz and a campground on the Blue Lagoon, which, I am told, is famous. We decided to take it easy here for a day, do the wash, regroup, and walk into town...

We are staying at the Sugar Beach Club, 20YTL, including everything, which 
evidently is a pretty swinging place in the high season; don't worry, we are the 
only campers here presently

This is the Blue Lagoon, which looks more black and brackish to me

This is the Creature from the Black Lagoon, one of the formative 
movies of my life; along with Jaws, accounts for my disinclination 
to go into any water that doesn't have major chlorine content

Interesting adverts in town

Guess the nationality of visitors here; I was tempted 
nonetheless

They also do boat cruises (we passed)

In high season it looks like this

Right now it looks like this; which is incredible because the place is glorious, 
more than affordable, and the weather beats anything we saw in Spain; but 
apparently there are no cheap flights from the UK of GB this time of year

So the locals get to practice mountain rescue techniques

And have family picnics in the Natural Park; Turkish family picnics are not 
small and simple affairs...
