Our first job of the day; look for mouse poo! None, hoorah, let's hope that is the end of our rodent experiences.
Having driven all day, we reach Urgup a potential base for our explorations of Cappodocia. We opt for a proper campsite tonight. Although there are numerous wild camping options, there is also the first still open campsite here, so the opportunity of a hot shower, wifi and even a washing machine win!
We have a fantastic view over the valley, a great place to watch the famous hot air balloons take flight over the fairy chimneys.
Wed 22nd Oct
A day to chill and do some chores. The luxury of a hot shower is sublime! We take a walk to a near by rock church and Monastery, very ancient and interesting. Tomorrow we need to be up before dawn for our hot air balloon trip.
Thur 23rd Oct
We are up before light but it is too windy for the balloons to take off, so we return to bed! Today is lazily spent shopping in Urgup. Urgup is a nice town with interesting shops and friendly people, we indulge ourselves and have a traditional lunch in one of its restaurants. Then time to walk the lunch off before watching the sun go down over Sunset Hill. We know we are very lucky to be able to do what we are doing. These six months are precious days which we will treasure. We will try again tomorrow to get our balloon ride.
