Final turkey tour
... in a near by town. The story goes though that some emperor back in the day sent out a group of soldiers to find 'heaven on earth' and that's what they found. It was very pretty, but I imagine that if there were a garden of Eden that it would be a little more spectacular. Ill post a photo or 2.

Goreme - Great place. Shame about the weather!
... that the pictures do it justice, but you will all get the idea.
