Do you know where your daughters are?

Finally, after a 6 hour flight to London, 4 hour stop over, 4 hour flight from London to Istanbul, a 2 hour stop over, a 1 hour flight from Istanbul to Kayseri, and a 1 hour drive to Goreme, we have arrived. To describe Goreme would be "other worldly". It's peaceful, laid-back, and has great hospitality. So far we've been invited two bbqs, and a Turkish dance/dinner. We've decided to go to the bbq above the carpet shop.

The food! The incredible, wonderful food. Where to begin? Um, how about with breakfast. I have never eaten sweeter, fresher tomatoes in my life and the bread was simply to die for. Tomorrow we will try the olive spread and hot pepper spread on the bread. There were raisins, apricots, olives, feta cheese with sesame seeds, and another two kinds of cheese. The one kind of cheese went well with the watermelons. We've had lots and lots and lots of regular and apple flavour tea from a street vendor, carpet shop, hotel, a lady's home, and the restaurant.

Meet Erol, from Taskonak/Kelebek Hotels:

For Lunch we sat on floor cushions and lounged away the afternoon drinking tea, eating Gozleme (quesadillas) and chatted with the locals.

Today, we walked to the Open Air Museum which consists of rock-cut churches that were built in the 11th century. These churches are no longer used, but show fantastic workmanship in the frescoes. Most of the frescoes are red ochre and some blue colouring.

Nina's travel tips:

• Be careful of the pedal next to the toilet because it does not flush the toilet as Nina found out the hard way. Do not stand directly in front of it because water shoots out directly at you even though it's meant to wash your feet.
• When entering or exploring caves make sure not to stand up too quickly. The stone is hard.
