Capadocia (Kapadokya)

We took a couple of walks/hikes to to take in more of the scenery. Nice trails. Tried to find an alternate route down into Love Valley but finally called it after 4 attempts of getting close only to be stopped by a 12’ drop—my adventurousness disappears at the possibility of a broken leg.

We loved waking up early to see the balloons from our room—almost as good as being up there but with coffee and a warm bed only a few steps away. Donny loved having a real fireplace in the room that he could fiddle-fart with until the wee hours. Totally worth having smoky clothes — there’s just something about falling asleep to the dancing light and crackle of a wood fire. 🥰

Found a great restaurant run by a lovely family. The 20YO daughter spoke excellent English so we had great chats with her & her Dad as our interpreter. The food was outstanding and I love the ease and surprise of a prix fixe menu. Can I say it again? Turkish mezzes are sooooo delicious!Læs mere
