After our 2 night stay in Ankara it was a 4 1/2 hour drive southeast to Cappadocia.
Some views from the road
We passed by a huge salt lake
All set up at our campsite. The kids had fun picking and eating apricots from the trees to their little hearts' content.
Swimming in the camp/hotel pool
The kids liked helping this lady knock down and collect apricots
These rock formations are known as fairy chimneys
On our first morning in Cappadocia we went to check out the cave churches. They were so amazing to see. These churches were carved out of rock, dating back to the 11th century!
Thus began the tons of pictures with silly faces and poses. Apparently standing still and smiling in front of yet another big rock gets old really fast with our kids.
Hey, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em
Just amazing, isn't it?
Joel wanted a picture of our van in Cappadocia





















What an amazing adventure and gift for your children. They will talk about this for the rest of their lives. Beautiful.
