Day 17

22-01-2011 Evening
Turkey, Cappadocia
Total 4194 km

Cappadocia - created by three volcanoes 30 million years ago. Wind and rain have done their work over the years and the result is a fanatastic landscape.

The first indications of Cappadocia were rock-like heaps by the road..

The first stop was by the Selime Kathedrale.

A church cut inside the rock.

A view of the the entrance.

The rooms are connected by these kind of corridors.Fortunately - not very serious rise and fall.

The material seems to be relatively soft, so itś no wonder that a bigger piece is falling from the ceilinig or some rooms seem to be without floor.

Selime Cathedrale, cut inside the mountain.

The next stop was lhara canyon.

And also inside the canyon walls churches were escavated.

White clouds in the distance. At night the temperature was slightly below 0 and in the daytime about +10 C.

To be countinued...
