Trois semaines et demi, c'est jusqu'ici mon voyage en solo le plus long. C'est peu pour certains routards que j'ai rencontré, mais beaucoup pour la majorité d'entre vous! Dans ce blog, j'ai plutôt envie de parler de cette expérience alors que mes photos feront de leur mieux pour vous donner un bref aperçu de ce magnifique pays! Voyager seul c'est facile. On ne pense qu'à soi-même, qu'à nos propres désirs et envies. On suit notre propre rythme et notre propre instinct, nos propres besoin et caprices. Mais de n'être qu'avec soi-même en voyage devient aussi par moments ennuyeux. Ce qui me manquait le plus était de partager les beaux moments et les découvertes avec quelqu'un, de rire ou de soupirer avec quelqu'un. Mais pas avec n'importe qui, mais avec une personne avec qui je pourrai au ... read more

We were up at 5am verrry early to get on the bus to Cappadocia today! We had an 11 hour drive so a long time and there were things we wanted to do when we arrived too so we had to leave super early! The trip was actually ok. We all slept a bit, read, edited pics, watched movies, caught up on some bachelorette on my laptop! You know how it goes! J We stopped every 2 hours thankfully for my bladder! When we arrived in Cappadocia we were all blown away! It is incredible. So hard to even describe! Apparently millions of years ago a volcano erupted and left formations of rock all over the city and since then they have all eroded and formed these amazing shaped rocks everywhere!!! So, our pics from this ... read more

(DEUTSCH UNTEN) G'day! So where ın the hell am I and where should I start? Well first, I'm in a place called Göreme. I'm surrounded by massıve rock penıses(serıously). The start of my travel started lıke thıs: Fırst wake up, ready for my flıght then look at my bag and see that ıt ıs rıpped at the top and the stuff ın the top compartment wıll probably fall out. So... fırst thought "SHIT!", then Anna told me to just take an extra small day bag - and that dıd the job. So no ıt's not ONE MAN ONE BAG anymore (and noone got the joke about the porn vıdeo... ıf you're up to date wıth ınternet vıral vıds look up "2 gırls 1 cup" or better yet "1 man 1 cup"!!! Hmmm no don't on second ... read more

We had a slow start for the day and it was already afternoon when we left the hostel to have a coffee. There is exactly one place (that we know of) in Göreme where u can get "normal" coffee: not nescafe or turkish coffee. At the café we decided to rent a scooter and drive to see an underground city. So, we went to scooter rental shop and Leo had a test drive with the employees to see that he actually can drive the thing. The underground city is located in Kaymakli, around 20km from Göreme. The drive there was quite peaceful, not too much traffic on the roads and pretty countryside landscapes. Driving the scooter (and sitting at the back) was very much fun, you could just enjoy views and the wind, and almost empty ... read more

Our hostel here in Göreme is great for sleeping: no noise, no heath at night and real blankets and pillows. So, we slept until 10am (or I did, Leo woke up at 8). I had pancake with banana and chocolate for breakfast. When I was eating it, Leo said that when he saw that on the menu he was thinking that would be the last thing he would have..hah..anyway i guess he was on to something since i also decided to have the Turkish breakfast next time. We had decided to go see the Love Valley. You can check the pictures to judge for yourself where you think the name comes from ;) We thought it would be a shorthish walk to the valley, looking around for a while and walking back. But we ended up ... read more
