Day 96/97: Travel & Cappadocia

There are night busses between Pamukkale and Cappadocia, but they didn’t have enough tickets for April 16 so we had an extra day. Used the time to start mapping out Europe since we’ve done little to no research. Mary also bought stomach antibiotics from the pharmacy to expedite the food poisoning healing. $1.26 USD for the medicine y’all!!! We enjoyed dinner and played several rounds of cards to pass the time.

We made it to Cappadocia at 7am and would like to comment how amazing the Élysée Cave House hotel staff were. They checked us in at 8am, worked with us to order an airport shuttle the next day at 6am, made us a breakfast box since we would miss breakfast, and then gave us so much advise on the best hikes through the valley. Just amazing people and amazing views/facilities.

After napping, we hiked to the open air museum to see ancient houses and churches from the 3rd century built into the caves. Got lost with a retired British couple in the valley, but we found a beautiful point to view the sunset. No hot air balloons sadly 🥲
