To be in Turkey is awesome. To be in Turkey with my family and my friend Beth…Priceless.

We spent our final day touring the underground cities of Cappadocia, walking another beautiful valley which ended sitting on comfy cushions beside the stream enjoying a lovely lunch in the sun. Glorious!

Our friends were due to leave us in Cappadocia and spend their last night in Istanbul and hopefully see some more of the big city.

With a heavy heart we say goodbye to Beth, Mike and Jesse and we are feeling all refreshed and loved. “If distance were measured in terms of the heart we’d never be more than a minute apart.” We had a wonderful time in their company and just hope we didn’t bore them to tears with our stories of “round the world”, but for the moment it feels like all we know. (Hang on to your hats those of you at home. You too will be subjected!)

We have decided to head south tomorrow, as it has only rained and near snowed here in Goreme since Beth left! Kinda suits my mood.
