Goreme and the changes...


Next stop Goreme. What a strange place! It's very much like the Star Wars place filmed in Tunisia and if you've no idea what that means then Tim's thoughts that it's "like a village in a quarry" isn't too far off! The rocks look like they've been sand blasted into all types off shapes and sizes over the centuries and no doubt people have/do live in them.
Coupled with that, the people are now less Turkish than those that I've met, more Syrian maybe. Not that I've ever met any but maybe you know what I mean? Also the food is now firmly middle eastern, with figs, dates, olives cheese etc for breakfast. The picture is the view from the hotel where we kicked back after dinner and watched the most incredible electric storm all around us.
