Hi friends! I had a very active day today. Three days ago I rented a car again in the city of Antalya, Turkey. I continue my driving practice in my #TheLongestTrip. This beautiful black Renault Megane is the fifth car I've rented during our trip since March. And this is already two months of my driving practice! Well guys, I already feel more confident behind the wheel. And driving in Antalya is the next step! Even experienced drivers with many years of experience claim that it is difficult to drive in Antalya. Four lanes of traffic, dense traffic, traffic jams, rush hour... And Turkish drivers often do not turn on the turn signal when changing to the next lane :)
So, we came to Antalya to the Ukrainian Consulate to make an apostille of Daryna's birth certificate. But here we were waiting for failure. We were not accepted without registering in the online queue... I will write about this process in a separate post. And after that, the girls need some way to relieve stress! Well, of course - shopping :)
I decided to go to the shopping center ÖzdilekPark Antalya Mall
This shopping center is located near a large beautiful pine DOKUMA park, which means WEAVING.
The girls wanted to buy some clothes, and I wanted to go for a walk in the park :) So, after a short shopping spree, we went for a walk. The first inhabitant of the park we met was a small red-white kitten :)
There are many cats everywhere in Turkey. Here they are very much loved by all people, food is poured everywhere, so they feel calm and happy.
Here is the next resident - a gray handsome man who loves affection very much!
My girls decided to remember their carefree childhood and sat on the swing! Meanwhile, I went to explore the park.
The first thing we saw was a beautiful multi-colored wooden house - a toilet. Important moment :)
Tall, beautiful pines grew in rows, and between them were alleys, colorful benches and picnic tables.
There were also several playgrounds among the pine trees. And there was a cafe for adults.
I took a very cute photo of a respectable couple sitting in each other's arms. My passion is to take photos of people in love!
There were also beautiful colorful gazebos in case it rained.
During the walk, I photographed more cats: a black and a white one, which was peacefully sleeping in a ball next to a tree :)
A little further on, a man of respectable age was doing sports on exercise machines.
My daughters were walking between pine trees and cats, and I was enjoying the beautiful warm November weather in Antalya after the morning rain!

In the evening, we went for a walk near the Ferris wheel, which glows with colorful lights! Here in the video, you can see the crazy rhythm of life in Antalya at 7 p.m.
This post is written about where I am now. But I'll be back to telling my travel story, sequentially describing all the places I changed in my #TheLongestTrip
I thank everyone for your support ❤️
