Did it hurt?

Our mystical trip to Cappadocia started in the hostel lobby and we met Holly, Jenny and Sarah who were also coming on the trip. We were picked up and dropped off on the side of the road which was pretty confusing and after about half an hour waiting there, the next bus arrived. It kind of felt like a chaotic school excursion.

We listened to they might be giants on repeat

And won a free Pepsi in a Doritos packet

We got to our hostel which was in cave

And then headed on our tour of Capadocia and went to the first lookout point of capadocia which was amazing

Then to the pigeon monastry

And took a walk through Ihlara Valley which was formed by a volcanic eruption

Had an epic lunch

And went to Derinkuyu (the underground city) which was used to hide from enemies at several times in history.

and got our beautiful bridge photo in the underground city

We went out to dinner that night with Sarah and Jenny, the town looked amazing at night

Sarah and Jenny headed off to bed and we met up with Amani and Fraser who we had met in Turkey and drew representations of ourselves on clay pots...

The rock formation sight seeing continued on day 2 with the gorme open air museum,some beautiful viewing points with a spot of wine tasting in between

We went back to the main town and found a really cute cafe where we got another bridge photo.

We then needed to say goodbye to cappadocia and headed on a 12 hour bus ride back to Istanbul

But our time in Turkey was not yet over and we tried to cram as much into the day without missing our flight.
we finally got to the blue mosque (3 attempts later)

and took the ferry to the Asia side of Turkey

I(lee) also then relised the perils of travelling and saw I had gained kankles from the 12 hour bus ride..

we then wondered around and saw lots of cats

Another thing we slowly began to realise was the Pepsi conspiracy. Because we had won the Pepsi in the doritos packet we went looking for a place to get Pepsi but nobody sold it and one evil man said they didnt sell it but it was in the fridge and when i pointed to it he just smiled and said no..

I then got my fresh fish sandwhich from the side of the port which I had been craving for the past couple days

And then pretty much did a sprint to collect our bags and get to the airport with 10 whole minutes to spare
