Well, I think it’s time to talk about the food using as few of the letter i as necessary, because th?s keyboard has a weird layout.

Food good Turkey. Excellent, that should explain it. Found

OK, ok - we found this great place in Istanbul where I had some dish - aubergine with mash potato and lamb. Also had a tomato stuffed with maybe couscous - or something similar.

Paul (our tour leader, not a guide, I could be imprisoned for calling him a guide) took us to a restaurant on the first night I th?nk which was noth?ng special, but I gave him another chance and he hasn’t d?sappo?nted. Had some interesting food at the train station on our way to Göreme, some mixed mezze, a couple little vegetar?an d?shes that were very nice - and the only meat dish that I’d chosen tasted interesting - and later found out was liver, which actually went well with the raw onion. Couldn’t eat much of it tho.

After many hours by bus and train maybe 15 hrs, the trainride being a sleep deprived overnight trip (it’s at this point I’ve decided there are too many i’s ?n the English language, so from now on I will remove them) we arrved at Göreme.

In Göreme we had lunch at a nce cafe and ate some crepe bread lke thngs flled wth spnach and cheese (OK, maybe I need these pesky i’s).

In Göreme, the place ?s full of dwellings carved into rock, we visited the Open A?r Museum where you can see all the old cave paint?ngs from Christians, about one and half thousand years old (the paintings, not the Christistians).

And for dinner had this beautiful meal that is cooked in a clay pot and cracked open to serve you the food, which is minced meaty and spicy, and great for dipping the fresh Turk?sh bread. One of the waiters had Laura (one of the group) try to crack the pot open herself, eventually smashing it on the ground, giving her a heart attack - only for ?t to be completely empty. Both these places chosen by Paul, so he more than redeemed himself ;)

This morning we went on a hot air balloon flight, I’m sure most of you won’t believe that may have cured my fear of heights at Cappadocia. We had Champagne for breakfast which topped it off nicely.

Had a great lunch again - a different kind of kebab, meat laid out almost look?ng like a skinless sausage, with flat bread underneath - very spicy and good.

Sorry I don’t have photos at the moment, but patrick has, hopefuly temporarily killed my portable hard dr?ve with his dodgy memory card. And I have to go now - plenty to write , not enough time.
