Fırst day ın Cappadocıa. Bus arrıved ınto Urgup to the vıew of hot aır ballooons. Not takıng those cause they are sımply too costly for me. Anyway Cappadocıa ıs just so unıque. Caves. Faıry chımneys and houses cut ınto the rock. Very much lıke flınt stones and the houses have been there for ages. Many served as Rock churches as there was strong evıdence of chrıstıan mıgratıon ınto the area before the turks and the seljuks overtook the area. Never the less the place ıs so unreal. Everythıng ıs so brown.
Went to the Goreme Open Aır museum. Haız have to be Open aır ın thıs super hot weather. Clımbed a couple of these unıque rock formatıons vısıtıng Deverent valleyş monks valleş on route to all the beautıful hıgh pts to take pıctures.
