Goreme, Turkey

Well, after almost a week here I'm heading out of Cappadocia. It's been a great little place to hang out and do lots of hiking. I was going to say lots of relaxing, but I was out every day walking, walking, and walking. The landscape is really quite bizarre. My a last little video for Cappadocia... http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid =-6202297227509515639&hl=en Tonight I'll head straight to Istanbul on the overnight bus, where I'll hang out for 4 days to finish off my trip before returning to Canada.

After a bus ride from Pamakkale that took all night, I arrived in Goreme. I checking into a pension and headed right out for some hiking in the bizarre landscape here. Went to the Sword, Rose, and Red Valleys. Rather than try to describe, I'll just post these photos. I keep expecting to bump into Fred Flintstone, but haven't yet!
