Welcome to Cappadocia!

Day 8, September 28, 2007 - Welcome to Cappadocia

We started the day with a guided walk of Mustafpasa lead by the owner of the Greek House, Suleyman. The weather couldn’t have been more perfect with clear blue sky and lots of sunshine.


After our walk we went to the Goreme Open Air Museum to see the fairy Chimneys and cave homes and churches…I thought it was very worth the visit.






We had our lunch today arranged by our guide and it was in the home of a local woman. She prepared a delicious lunch of tomato & cucumber salad, white beans and bulgur wheat. But the best part of lunch was spending 2 hours with a local woman talking about what life is like for her.











We spent the rest of the afternoon at a carpet demonstration and ended the day with another meal at the Greek House, also very good…a variety of mezes and then some local musicians to entertain us.

We called it an early night because the next day was our hot air balloon ride!
