Cappadocia - tick
... was all too evident. We wandered into the village, for water and panadol, stopping briefly to chat with Adam, and return the shawl borrowed from the night before. The weather here reminds us a lot of Armidale, much cooler evenings with plenty of warmth to the sunshine.
We touched base with Artie again, always a pleasure, and tried again to reach Harry, who would have been too busy doing his homework during prep to answer the phone.

Clouds up high & a cave to sleep in!
... truly a cave dug out of the side of a huge rock that is what is so special about the Cappadocia Region of Turkey.
