Hello everyone,

Arriving in Istanbul and the realization, which corresponds to a tight timetable, we were, if we wanted to, for all sites, we were on the reading list, and John and I the great mistake for a guided tour. Well, who said that there are not only bad ....

We have an overnight bus from Istanbul Cappadocia, a method of travel, working slowly in the path of my head ever do, and we have done in the fantasy world. Thousands on thousands of years, there were monks lived in the mountains and their method of survival decrease, a space to live in rock formations, that dotted the horizon.

So all the caves can be found from the 6th century, and which are merely interesting things. You can see, these people have lived in the countryside, but peaceful life, and their main methods of defense are hidden and difficult to reach (which, of course, makes it difficult to climb the seductive for entries adventure ...) Then, we were happy with the rain, And see, local weather, hiking, our plans on hold, "and went to the south of Cyprus, where we saw temperatures meeting at 20 degrees!

Turkey… one what city of contradictions. The ruins of old civilizations are stopped of side to side with the equipped homes of plates based on the satellites, of the coffees of the Internet and the similars. The passage of the life differentiates depending in from what city you are - it is slowed down much more in Selcuk but quickly in Istambul. There is so much to see, to explore and to learn in Turkey, was a key to go away later only of one week. Now, if they would only obtain used to the idea of the sauce of Chile because we could not find nobodies, does not uniform in McDonald's.
This trip was of long term in the manufacture. Dallied with the idea of Turkey like point of the vacations from 2006 principles. But he who was ours first then vacations, the point upper of the summer and therefore the most expensive time, we decided to pospone it in favor of Thailand. Then the bird influenza and the fire in the airport came from Istambul so Turkey was thrown back again, this time in favor of Spain. Somehow, somewhere throughout the way, we made the decision to go to Turkey instead of another one and one what great decision that turned out to be.

There is no other place such as this. Where gatherings is Asia of west and Europe of gatherings. There is no place such Turkey where a in of lives people all past and present at very the time. Where strives of a nation constantly to advance the into the future meeting of while the resistance of yesterday and ideas of the tomorrow. The without of Again my guide precious of excursion of Turkish of little, Capt Ali, these sights and ruins would have meant the nothing. But Ali accompanied us for FREE our second day to show us the sites. Donald and Jill my parents of Kiwi and Rohjet and Pooja my new friends of Indian had the honor of the learning about the via historical of site of this Captain.

I cannot WAIT to arrive at the house and A-does not observe TROY and does not bread Iliad and Odessy. Oh and C sees the movie 300. The will of This is also much meaningful after seeing Dardaniels Straight, Pergamum, and Troy.

After day full and from exhasting with seeing of sight we spent the HOURS and the HOURS of driving of in of winding of roads of Turkish. Yew of Christine R. you are this of reading that you would never make the in Turkey of it! First of all OTHERS drivers are ridiculous. There is literally NO lane of traffic.

Aucuns limits speed, no signs of yield….You left just go. Our driver, another man of Turkish of little by the name of Yusuf spends the WHOLE talking of day out of telephone of his. And when it talking of is not it texting of is. I have noticed now a while emerging of model it of the drives. When it speaks we slow down almost with a creeping. And when it of the texts it proceeds at the speed to a rate/rhythm of neck of cut. With the given the point it turn of will around and grin and give toothy of his of grin a with of sign of approval of little of the inches upwards. I am not sure why it makes this. It main effort of brings to me because I am WATCH of thinking the HIGHWAY TYPE! ! ! But some how us arrive OVER TIME and WITHOUT RISK with each destination.

Yesterday we went in of swiming a in beautiful of spring the moutains. Yusuf came to and proceeded to the strip to the bottom with the shorts of little of his and in of body of frail of his that all the its glorifient floated around the in the spring for the time being following. It was a chart of post, it looked of so nice lower part this water fall. I was it of afraid would match him of traction below and we would be wedged but low and to see there was this grin toothy and the inches infamous each time which it crossed the fall. In way or other I just knew that it would be in very of OK.All reccomend of I highly a bath of Turkish to no matter whom upwards for a chaos of little before 9 hours of the morning.
