Cappadocia

I have to confess that Cappadocia was probably my favourite part of the Turkey trip but that it was also a bit of a blur. My cough had gotten worse and when it got to the point that I could hear strange noises coming from my chest I thought antibiotics might be required. Yuksel, who had been plying me with lemon and mint tea, took Frank down to the pharmacy on his scooter but as they wouldn’t dispense antibiotics because of other medication I was taking he then borrowed a friend’s car and came back with Frank to take me to the doctors – bronchitis. Yuksel really went out of his way to help, and I was very grateful.

So I’m afraid not many trip notes, and possibly way too many photos but the landscape really is amazing, the people so friendly, the food very good and the walking very interesting. The pigeon houses and the underground cities are fascinating, and so many hidden churches!
