Day 247 - A Surreal Arrival
Good Morning Cappadocia!
We woke up on the bus as we arrived in the town of Göreme. The sun was rising above the horizon and multitude of hot air balloons were floating serenely above a magical world of naturally formed stone mounds. Many of these had caves carved out centuries ago creating an otherworldly community remeniscient of …
1000m high with a dude named Volkan
This is a top pick! Ahh yes. The dreaded overnight bus was upon me. Just have to man up. Just get through it. Look at the bigger picture. These were none of the thoughts going through my head. Hah!

Of Fairies and Horses
... I gave up on any attempt to make plans and went straight down to the cafe. Krista and I took on babysitting duty, whilst the family went to the cemetery to visit Ali's brother, who at 18 had died in a car accident 5 months before. When they returned, Ali took me on his promised tour. We drove up to the best view point of Cappadocia and I revelled in the panoramic view.
