Cappadocia

There is a lot more to Turkey apart from our little corner, so we packed the cats off to the cattery, and set off to discover Cappadocia. We went via the Turkish "Lake District", and stayed beside Lake Eğirdir in Lale Pension. We had a lovely overnight stay (more pictures of Lake Eğirdir can be found here)

The following day we completed our journey to Göreme and stayed in a cave room at the Shoestring Pansion.

The pansion was very pretty, with a little courtyard, and steps climbing up to the restaurant and roof-top swimming pool which gave great views over the valleys. 

We toured around the area, both by foot, and by tour coach and by horse and trap.

Even in the evening there were photo opportunities.

In fact, everywhere you turned was a great view.

Photos really don't do the scenery justice, but if you want to see more, click here.

We were joined by friends Paul and Gaynor who flew in from the UK.

The journey home also had some extremely beautiful scenery, for more of these scenes, click here
