Kapadokya









Deep in the heart of the country lies a fairy tale world. There are ancient churches, cave dwellings and all kind of geological wonders. And suddenly you are in the middle of it. It consists of a soft volcanic tuff that has been sculpted over thousands of years into fantastic shapes by water and erosion.. There are huge stone mushrooms, deep valley, pigeon holes, caves. It was a wonderful place to explore and just look and walk around. we slept in a cave. most pensions are built in caves. Although it was hot outside we needed our duvet in the night because it was chilly.

We slept in the middle of a town called Goreme. In the area are so many things to see. It was a good thing we had our own car and visited some lovely villages like Urgup, the Zelve Valley and Mustafapasa.

Hoi,hoi,

Jullie gaan echt hard zeg.
Wat is Cappadocië mooi hé.
Ben er ook twee maal geweest en dus ook in Ugrup en Goreme.
Had daar bijna een ballonvlucht gemaakt, maar helaas REGEN die dag. Begrijpen jullie nu dat iedereen naar Antalya gaan en aan de weg aan het strand gaan liggen????
