Daphne and I explored the valleys around our town Goreme. We realized today was going to be much warmer than yesterday after hiking up the hill a bit from our pension. We had to go back and change clothes leaving the 20 extra layers at home.
We had fun exploring the hills and the "fairy chimneys" finding fruit trees and grapes along the way.
We ended up taking a bus to Urgup and having a great lunch including 3 different mezze (small plates or tapa often served cold) at a restaurant recommended by Daphne's cousin.
Then we tried some wine made here in the valleys of Cappadocia. We like the cheap table wine the best; of course.
There was a long moment of indecision 2011-stay tuned for more about the result of the coin flip.
The baklava today was great but is still 3rd on the top ten list.
Dinner included Turkish pizza. Amazing! Then some Salep after dinner. I really am eating my way through Turkey.
