ALTE Cocker in Cappadocia, Turkey, July 2011 (Photo Gallery)
Occasionally, Alte Cocker gets so go somewhere unusual. In July 2011, Alte Cocker snagged a home exchange in the Istanbul suburbs. Before going there, however, Alte Cocker went to Cappadocia in central Turkey and stayed in a cave hotel. Yes, Alte Cocker occasionally stays in hotels. She stayed at the Fairy Chimney Inn in Goreme which, like many of the hotels in Cappadocia, is a so-called cave structure (actually carved out of soft rock, not real caves). Here are photos from the trip. To see the captions, click once on the photo and the photo will enlarge with the caption. The stories from the trip will be written up separately because I know many of you will find going through photos overwhelming (or, if you don't like the photos, underwhelming).
Turkey is a fantastic country. I would love another exchange there sometime. Fantastic food, lovely people and the history can't be beat!
