Was it warm up in the air when you jumped? I noticed you have shorts and vests on.

It was May when we did our jump, and they loaned us padded jumpsuits, as it was freezing up there! You could feel the air getting warmer as we floated down though.

Great pics though and pleased you enjoyed it.

Yes Becles, I didn't notice it was any cooler up there, it was very hot when we were in Turkey, almost hot enough to pass out.

Back from our stay in Ovacik, and can confirm that Carole & Tayfun were reliable and the tours were mostly excellent - for Pamukkale and Dalyan they were re-selling Pioneer Travel tours (who were very professional), the 3 islands boat tour was run by themselves (very relaxing and no loud music), and the bath was a special offer at £2 if you booked 2 other tours at the same time (at Pine Valley Lodge in Hisaronu - £10 extra each for a 30 minute massage, still incredible value).

The only tour I would not recommend is the horse-riding - there is a lot of scree/sharp drops up to Kakakoy and my horse seemed to have a bad leg so was stumbling/tripping a lot. For the sake of both of us, I asked to walk instead and was then given a slightly bigger horse, but I'm still not happy about the horse welfare there.

Fethiye Market.. well, the food market was incredible. The clothes market was.. um.. a fascinating insight into an aspect of British culture that I don't see too much? And the paragliding looked to be run very professionally and I actually wish we'd booked in for it.
