Cappadocia

We took Ky's parents to Cappadocia and visited the underground city again.

This was in the bathroom of our hotel.  If you can't see it, it says "For not to wash towels without need; please decide yourself! Towels on the floor means 'please exchange' Towels back on the rack means 'I will use them once more to save the environment.' "

Sacrifice holiday was going on while we were there.  We drove past several people sacrificing sheep or cows.  Alina was not very happy to see this.

This made us laugh

We bought several tatted doilies and necklaces from this lady.  She does amazing work.

Shop owners are very aggressive here.  He was trying to get me to buy a pashmina.  While a cool experience, his sales tactics did not work.

An old Greek Orthodox church.  One of my favorite churches I have seen so far.

James Bond Bridge

The newest James Bond movie was filmed in Turkey.  This bridge is one of the places they filmed.  Now you have to watch the movie and try to spot the bridge.

Kapikaya Canyon

Driving to Kapikaya Canyon.

The girls were really excited to find a sand crab.

Turkey has great signs.

Tarsus

St Paul's Well

St Paul's Church

Cleopatra's Gate

Kizkalesi

We took a boat out to the castle in the sea.

The girls love exploring castles.  There are so many rooms and stair cases to see.

The water was beautiful.

We rode around the castle before heading back.

The girls enjoyed looking in the water.

The girls got in water because it was a rather warm day.  You can see the other castle in this picture.  We did not explore this one, two castles were enough for one day.

Heaven and Hell caves

Our hands got a little dirty while slipping and sliding down the Heaven cave.  Ky took the picture because his hand were the only clean ones.

Hiking down into Heaven cave, the rocks were extremely slick.

The girls overlooking Hell

The road to Hell.  Alina had a little too much fun with this.  She kept saying "let's go to Hell."

Overlooking Heaven, we hiked down into this.

The stairs taking us to Heaven

This is the church of the Virgin Mary right before the Heaven cave.

Looking out of the cave up to the church

Silifke Castle

We visited the castle in Silifke.  It was very impressive.

I love this picture.  As you can see it was very windy.

Can you see the cross?

This is the first castle we have been to where they are trying to excavate.

The castle sat up on a hill, there was a great view.
