The landscape is amazingly beautiful!!..very coool and unique indeeeeed!!!
Arrived in Goreme finally!

WOWOW...The caves are really what it looked like in the photos! Pretty COOOOL! and I am living in a cave dorm as well!!! naturally cooled.....heee... I like that=)
This town is small and very nice..the view of it is just so special....the rocks, the caves, the environment!

So, I walked out and met this taiwanese girl and went to the Open Air Museum with her, it was nice but HOT and SUNNY.....

Anyways, these caves were filled with churches! It was when the Christians hid away from getting killed that they built these caves and underground cities....COOOOOL!
The Underground city was cool! They have this ventilation system that's amazing!!^^

Anyways, then, went walking along this Ihlara Valley...nice ge....just same old caves again...

They went to this Cave Monastary site and wah....its dangerous and difficult to walk up this monastry! pretty nice view from the top..=)

The day ended and I was right in time to take and shower and catch the bus to Kusadasi! Went with the big bus company "Metro" and woooah! nice bus!! great legroom and aircon! Lots of drinks and food served on the bus as well. I
