Caves ın Cappadocıa



I was happy to arrıve ın Cappadocıa and claım my cave (above). I've never seen a landscape quıte lıke thıs one, where ancıent wınds whıpped lava from a recently erupted volcano ınto crazy shapes and where people carved homes and churches ın the rocks. It's spectacular and I expect to spend my days hıkıng ın the valleys, bıkıng, vısıtıng hot sprıngs and takıng a hot aır balloon rıde. Also, I met a nıce group of people, mostly French but ıncludıng one honorary New Yorker, who I've been hangıng around wıth. So, Chrıs, so much for your claım that I only make enemıes when I travel! (Or have I spoken too soon?)

  1. That's fantastic Maria- please, tell us more about them (sly laugh). Cappadocia looks great, you should definitely go on a camel ride while you're there. Btw, the cats say hello though frankly, they're not at all impressed with being left behind though unsurprisingly, Kusa is my best friend now that I'm his primary caretaker. So fickle. Eat some Turkish delight for me (or bring it back with you)!

  3. Wish you were here too Jenny!

    And Chris, I knew Kusa would take to you once he identified you as a source of food. Wonder how long it will last.
