Cappadocia -Day 1

Slept in...ah-h-h! Great breakfast! I took off on a short hike through the rock formations with four of the others. The caves were really interesting. As we climbed over a ridge we'd see something in the distance and head for it. Each ridge offered a greater surprise. After two hours we were down to three. The hike got better and better, and longer and longer. Four hours in, Alex recommended we visit the Valley of Love-huge pillars of sandstone. Amazing. By the end of the last site we were six hours in and there was still 500m climb to the top of the ridge. Providence provided us with a guy and a private car for 20 lira back to the hotel. Tired, dehydrated, and ready for a beer and a nap, we met up with others and spent the next couple of hours recovering.
