Cappadocia 16-18 September

What an amazing landscape. 



There are balloons at dawn, but we choose to look rather than fly. 


We visit an underground city, which was mainly used for hiding during a long-ago war, but had places for animals, storage for food and wine, and places to eat and sleep. Someone discovered that the earth was soft to dig, but set rock hard when exposed to air. Even now houses are built on the hillsides, with storage dug in behind. 


Lunch is our own clay pot of meat/veg, which we knock the top off to eat.
 
 
One intrepid member of our group climbs on a camel for a photo, but the command to stand takes us all by surprise, what a brave woman!
