Lovely holiday with Grandpa Jim and Nana in Cappadocia. Into Ankara
then a 4hr bus ride south to
Taka Ev in Cappadocia. Based on my recent
country traveling experiences, to prepare for the bus ride I stocked the
family up on food and had my pockets filled with paper. I laughed out
loud a couple of times on the way south. First, when we pulled away
exactly on time in a line of some 15 other buses to quickly be served
water and tea. Second, when we pulled into a rest stop that seemed more
like a supermarket with attached restaurant. If this is traveling in
Turkey, it is really traveler friendly. Once at Taka Ev the owner Murat
made us feel right at home in the peaceful cave home he had renovated
on the hill. The sun came up over the mountains in the morning behind
the volcano that was responsible for the unusual conical cave formations
that make this place so unusual. Hikes right out the door and into the
valley. Every morning hot air balloons dip and rise. We even had snow
our first few days.
