... carved out from the rock. We enter the valley from the South and walk the path that leads through rock formations along the river. Its not an easy walk and when we arrive at the middle entry we are exhausted and return to our vehicles and then back to the hotel.<br><br>http://en.wikipedia.org/w iki/Ihlara (English)<br>http://de.wikipedia.org/wi ki/Ihlara-Tal (German)<br><br>It was a long day and we have had so many impressions that we sleep deep

... I loved the place, I had a great time in the place, but in doing so it reminded me what I missed about home and made me look forward to going home. <br><br>I've got a lot to do and a lot to see before that, and I don't wish away a minute of it.<br><br>But when I'm on a plane home, I definetely will think about how much fun we had in Goreme on our motor scooters, exploring the "walleys" and even in Fatboys, and I think I'll be ready to stay in one place for a bit. <br><br> <br><br><br><br><br>

... bus stop to take our picture through the bus windows, then several young men get off the bus and come over to have a photo with us. Only one thing wrong, no one stopped to be the photographer! We had to put our fingers together in a certain way. They all left happy and laughing, I am sure the ones left on the bus watching the whole scenario had a good laugh. We stop at the souvenir shops area looking for a place to eat. There is one café with a wood ...

... Jesus was born. They say that lots of things that happened in the Bible happened here. One rock house we climbed into was a church and Levent says that there are over 2000 churches in caves like this all over Cappadochia. We stopped for tea and I saw a green lizard. At lunch, we had Turkish ravioli (not like the ravioli at home, but still pretty good) and meze (little plates of food) and a stew cooked in a pot, that the waiter cut off with a huge knife. That ...

... North and South Cappadocia. Its definately worth doing the tours cos Cappadocia itself is just too big!! Being on a time restriction touring was the best option....ahhh loved it ...

... a little tense at the very beginning, especially when you think of the physics of how the balloon is actually being controlled. We had unbelievable views of the landscape, sunrise, and other balloons. We overshot our landing a bit and ended up on a random farmer's hillside, who then came out to see what was going on. Upon landing, our guide quickly produced a bottle of champagne, flight certificate for us and a large tip ...

Cultivating a friendship is akin to working the land... we break the ground... plant the seeds... water and nurture with care... watch it grow... and are occasionally rewarded with an abundant harvest that can nourish and sustain... This past week my family and I had a rare opportunity to meet up with, and foster, a closer friendship with a family ...

... one last sleep in our cave room before hitting the road on another mega hour bus ride to Istanbul . Here is the Menemen recipe we wrote down after enjoying it every morning for breakfast in Goreme. Menemen - Turkish Omelet In a clay pot heated on the stove cook onion, garlic and green chilli or capsicum. Add diced tomato and cook some more. Mix eggs and add to the pot. The eggs cook in the pot. All spice is added at some point. Try with the tomato.

... too much in my Cappadocia posts, but that's how it is here. We asked Faruk for a nice place to eat in town (Uchisar is not a big town) and he pointed us to a 'pizza' shop. In reality it was a pide shop and we ordered 2 between us. Turkish pizzas, like their equivalent from Italy, have a lot less topping than the type we get in Australia, so they were light and nice. We noticed that everyone from the town were bringing in small bags of something and ...
