For my next short weekend Trekkup trip, my friend and I decided on Cappadocia. I had long wanted to do this trip and, while I had initially planned to do the trip on my own for a more extended period, I figured why not.

I have very fond memories from Cappadocia
I spent about a week in Cappadocia in mid 90-ies. I absolutely loved it there. It is such an amazing place. I hope to be able to go back there again some day. Thanks for your blog and for bringing back some nice memories to me. /Ake
