Final, belated  installment of my Turkey Travelblog...

zippyfish and I changed from the coach in Nevesihir and to a a dolmus minibus, which deposited us in Urgup late int he afternoon . A taxi took us up the winding mountain road to our cave hotel.

The cave hotel was exactly that--a hotel that has been carved out of a series of caves in the mountain face. Traditionally, a lot of the population of the Capaddocia reason live in these circumstances--is underground cities, in cave systems. Even today a lot of the poorer people still live in caves., which are difficult to plumb or to provide electricity to. But they are a damn sight cooler than being out of doors in the hot Turkish summer. The balcony afforded us a wonderful view of the uneven  Capaddocia landscape below.
