Today we had our biggest drive of the trip, from Pamukkale to Cappadocia - over 600km
We stopped several times and kept our bellies full without much effort. I really enjoy trying our new foods and today was Turkish yoghurt, a big dollop of local honey and sprinkled with poppy seeds - who knew that could be so scrumptious!
On our way we stopped at Konya which is the birthplace of Rümi who founded The Whirling Dervishes!! They are those men who wear flowing white outfits and big turbans and spin around and around and around. It’s a form of physical meditation and the training to become an official one is quite rigorous and takes 3 years!
The ones you’re likely to see at a restaurant are more often entertainers rather than official Whirling Dervish’s.
Fascinating!Läs mer
