These photos are from the all-day tour we did on the Saturday we were in Kapadokya. And Aysegul was the only non-Canadian in the tour! Our tour bus consisted of Levent the Turkish tour guide, two Canadians from Calgary, two more from Quebec, and Mr. Kopalak from Toronto. Aysegul was the Yabanci (foreigner) in the group :)
Photo 1 - this is in this huge pottery place we went to and I tried to make pottery. This place had such beautiful pottery
Photo 2 - after the long day tour relaxing with tour friends in the cafe
Photo 3 - there is the whole group except mr. Kopalak. Here we are on an a beautiful hike into a valley full of more caves like the one you see, and actually a lot of vegetation and some Erik trees - sour plums that are so popular here! We picked lots of Erik :)
Photo 4 - here is Aysegul and all her new Canadian friends in a cave restuarant in a town called Avanos. Yes thats right - a cave restaurant. We were living life as Flinstones characters the whole time. Here we had a local delicacy - pottery doner - a sort of stew that is cooked inside a pottery pot and then they bring it to the table and break the neck of the pot and pour the hot steaming meat onto your plate. Yumm
Photo 5 - here we are after touring the underground city. This was a hiding place for Christians long long long time ago to escape invaders. They lived here for long periods of time and in the caves you can see the kitchen and living areas and where they stored the food. In fact many caves were used to store and refrigerate food for long periods of time. Perfectly cool and protected.
