🐢 Beach with the caretta caretta turtles
Çayağzı Plajı (Google marker also showed Andriake Beach but we're pretty sure it's Çayağzı beach). You can find the caretta caretta sea turtles right at the far end of the beach. There are also a number of places to eat along the waterfront next to the road.

Thanks Sundai! It was so awesome we got to see the turtles, there were so many and we must've been there at the perfect time coz later on they stopped appearing so must've all gone home! 😊🐢❤️ I think Peter was still pretty hungry after his salad lolol but it was nice! 🥗🍅

The view from the Airbnb is really nice with such a hearty dinner. Turkey is so rich with history, never ending, I see why curious minds 🧐 headed that way. Saint Nicholas 🎅 incredible respect of humanity, esp from a totally sexist world, more so at that time, bag of gold for them 🙏🏻. The underwater shots, taken with your mobile or a camera, love the noise of the water Thanks for sharing and it was a lovely breakfast vlog for me Have a great week

Glad you enjoyed the vlog LH! 🙂 Yes Turkey is so full of amazing history and sights 😃 I think we could spend a year there and still not see everything but happy that we covered a really good chunk in this trip 😊👍 we shot that underwater footage with our GoPro, glad we were able to capture the turtles! Such a special memory and lots of fun trying to spot them all 😊🐢❤️ hope you have a great week ahead!

Caretta caretta! Turkish people are freaking awesome, look at that dinner ready for you guys A little doggy?? hahaha That seems the size of Nala hahaha I was going to ask you in the last video about the driving part. Happy to see you were doing good with the sides. You are rocking that hat, Peter! Absolutely love seeing all the antik kenti. That cat is trying to get your attention. Peter the gladiator 😆😆 The St Nicholas Church looks like the churches in Mardin from the Assyrians in the area. Did we ever tell you that we see them mate here all spring long? What a beautiful turtle! We are absolutely in love with them and so is Peter

It had to be the most excited and happiest day during our Türkiye travels for Peter to get to see so many of the caretta caretta and all the other animals too 😄❤️🐢 and yea Peter did really well with driving on the opposite side! The closest we came to any incident was just in a carpark one day but coz it was an impatient driver but thankfully avoided any crash 😅

😁😁😁such an unforgettable experience this was seeing the sea turtles. One of the animals I most wanted to see in the wild. I had to tell you on the day cause I was so excited about it hahahaha. Do you have an animal that you really want to see in the wild that you haven't yet had the chance yet? I remember you told me about the giant manta rays at night which sounded super coool too almost tempting enough to do the dive course😁
@SeoulMan2020
@SeoulMan2020 2 года назад
@@PeterandYen Was so so so so so cool to see your expression when you saw the turtles...said it all:) You got some great shots of them! Sea turtles were definitely on my list...still remember the first time swimming with one in the wild...and yup, manta rays too... I highly highly highly recommend it. As far as animals I want to see in the wild which I haven't... definitely chameleons. If I had to pick one kind, I'd say Jackson's because of my life long fascination with dinosaurs...there is supposedly a small population of them in Hawaii that started from a pair someone let out into the wild... I'd probably have a better chance seeing them if I go Madagascar... I also want to see a blue whale in the wild..can you imagine?? Seems like an experience like that is one you'd reply in your mind on your death bed... By the way, I think you made the right hat choice color:)
@PeterandYen
@PeterandYen 2 года назад
@@SeoulMan2020 ooooo yes! so true chameleons would be awesome to see in the wild. Yen and I had the opportunity to see sperm whales last time we were in South Island unfortunately the weather turned bad on us on the day T_T We will have to save that for another time. There is a town there called Kaitaia which has a bunch of whales that feed there during part of the year. Blue whale would be absolutely incredible though. I think also the Narwhal would be super awesome especially since it lives in the ice cold regions of the world. Hahahaha. List keeps growing :D

@@PeterandYen That's funny you mention sperm whales... I was going to mention them along with blue whales, but didn't know it was possible to see them... That is so cool you have the possibility to see them in NZ.... such a bummer the weather got bad...would be amazing.... I'll have to look it up... narwhals would be sooooo amazing!!! My best friend and I talk about narwhals and what bizarre whales they are.. Used to doodle sperm whales in elementary school a lot...can't believe you can see them in the wild...oh that reminds me, would love to see orcas as well....the place in Washington state where they come to rub their bellies on the rocks...I guess my list keeps growing...thanks for letting me know about the sperm whales.... such an awesome planet we live on...
@PeterandYen
@PeterandYen 2 года назад
I've been fortunate enough to see Orcas a few times now living in Auckland city. They sometimes come into the Waitemata harbor which is where we used to work and live searching for sting rays. Unfortunately only saw them from far away but it was still cool. During the pandemic a family came and swam around everywhere and there were multiple sightings around the harbor they came really close to shore. Maybe if you get enough of an urge to see the sperm whales you will come to visit New Zealand 👀😁🇳🇿👍

Accommodation looks great there and oh yes, definitely need the air conditioning! Hope Santa brings you something good! Heck yeah was wondering about the driving Peter! Definitely a challenge there! Dang Peter about the salad, still you saved some money not having the chicken in there! Yes Peter good choice on that hat, actually complemented the ensemble really well! Those ancient tombs and actually make me wonder how they were made 2000 years ago! Ancient technology but advanced for that day! Oh Peter the gladiator, might need some cgi specialists to make that happen my friend! Haha - just kidding! Santas museum, how cool is that!?!?! Yeah looks great and yeah fewer people there gave to time to film and relax in the peace! Oh yeah that beach looks so good! Yeah I just spotted the turtle and great you got some underwater shots too! Yeah what an amazing video! Great job!

Oh dear Peter, you really shouldn't touch the Carettas. Because Carettas can be aggressive, they could turn suddenly and bite your hand or arm. And when they bite, they bite really bad. Next time I suggest you just watch from afar^^
