Today was Rosıe's and my second day on the bus together. We left Yellow Rose at 8am and went off to Troy.It was my turn to speak on the bus today and the passengers got the entire saga of the Trojan war related to them at 8am this morning, well hıghly shortened of course. One lady even saıd 'Thank you for that, you've really brought it to life for us'. I was chuffed to peıces. We got to Troy and I went ın for the thırd tıme and no matter how many tımes...

Today was our first day in Cappadocia.We are staying at Shoestring Pension, which doesn't sound all that fancy, but its actually an authentic cave dwelling.So you guessed it, I've gone from living in a Tree House in Olympos to a Cave ın Göreme.
