Farewell Cappodocia

Despite a lot of discomfort, I enjoyed my stay in Cappodocia very much. It's a splendid place.

On my way out the hotelier sorta apologized that it was the hottest three days of the year so far. Can confirm: it was hot.

I was fortunate today to have access to a pool. The 4 spaniards who I met in Istanbul, and with whom I went ballooning, invited me to join them for the afternoon at their hostel. Sitting by a pool in 98° (37°) was delightful. I love splishes.

We also did a little meander earlier in the day, saw some more caves, drank a coconut, sat under misty shade.

I'm presently trying hard to find positive comments vs negative, because I am on an overnight bus that is 28° (82°) and I can't sleep... I'm uncomfortable and sleepy... Not feeling very positive at all.

But the visit was good, that's positive.Read more
