Goreme onwards

Ok, everything went alright with the overnighter to Goreme (Cappadocia) if you call getting no sleep for a million hours alright. Anyway after arriving at 7am we decided to continue our punishing schedule by going on a all day tour of the area. First stop, the underground city where olden day dudes lived to escape from other olden day dudes, when those olden day dudes tried to give the other olden day dudes wedgeys...understand? Good.


Here is Indiana Bacchus discovering that the olden day dudes had light bulbs waaaay before that geezer Edison.

Anyway we saw some other stuff including a place which supposedly resembles star wars...NOT where they actually filmed it. I quizzed the guide who informed me that he had not seen star wars, but was pretty sure it was episode 4. Presumably its supposed to be Tattooine...you be the judge.

The next day, to continue the punishment we started a 3 day tour of Mt Nemret.

Here is a picture of some of the local serfs working hard for their lord and master, Batman. The End.

Our driver, Smokin Joe, was born on the streets, went to the school of hard knocks and continued to the University of Life. Needless to say, driving on the wrong side of the road most of the the 3 days was a challenge Joe needed to pursue...in his own time would have been nice, as i only had 1 pair of brown trousers on the journey.

This is the hunk-o-man that is Smokin Joe (left) and his bitch (tour guide).

To get to Mt Nemret for dawn (apparently this is the thing to do) we had to get up at 2.30am, i am not joking. I'm still deciding if it was worth it. There were some statues and stuff which appear to look at the rising sun. Quite good. It was bloody freezing as well.

We went to a place where you could dress up a starving local peasant...hilarious

Here is Tham, a spanish girl i can't remember, and our friend Leanne... all having a whale of a time.
