brief update on climbing in Kalymnos

The climbing in Kalymnos was fantastic.  Lots of variety and a great location with panoramas overlooking the Mediterranean from almost all of the crags.
 
The 'scene' is a little more enticing than in Turkey, where the climbing is just as good, but the place where you stay in Turkey is a little isolated.
 
The food in Masouri (the small village where most of the climbers stay) is excellent and quite reasonable, so I was also very well fed over the past week. 

Interestingly, I ran into 4 people that I knew from Vancouver (3 independent parties). 
To make this even stranger, all of us, including myself and Micah - the Californian that I had met in Turkey, managed to arrive on the same day.

I am on my last couple of days now - plan on catching a night bus back to Istanbul tonight, so will hopefully see many of you again shortly.

Cheers,
- Ran
