Weekend in Cappadocia

Earthlooping in Rose Valley

Three days in Cappadocia trekking and hiking through out of the world landscapes, visiting open air museums, underground cities and enjoying everything there.


Having left all the paperwork at the Tajikistan embassy in Ankara, we headed for Göreme, a 2000 inhabitants city in the middle of Turkish Cappadocia. We have to wait till Tuesday to hopefully collect the visa, so instead of staying in Ankara, much better to enjoy Cappadocia. 

After 5 hours of bus we got there. First impression of Göreme is that it is a village fully prepared for tourists. Plenty of souvenir shops, bars, restaurants, etc. Anyway, it is set in the middle of Cappadocia surrounded by amazing karstic landscapes and it gives it an air of totally out of the world place.

He gave us directions to get to the Tajik embassy and next morning we went there. Unlike in Istanbul, this time the embassy was where it was supposed to be but of course, everything could not be perfect: the consul was on business trip to Istanbul (probably deciding the new

3 days spent in Istanbul with a bit of sightseeing and a much of losing nerves because of Tajikistan consulate. All in all it was quite good, though.

I'm so proud to officially write the first post on the road after having spent first 3 days in Istanbul. Landed there from Copenhagen one hour later than expected, took bus to Taksim square and from there we went to Muaf Bar, where Gursel was waiting. He is the guy renting us out a room nearby. Followed him till the apartment to find out it was in a quite dark and scary area but ended up being quite a good option. The apartment was simple and we had a small room to sleep in.

    Born in Barcelona and raised in Olot, I've been interested in travelling since I was a child, when every Summer I crossed Spain from coast to coast with my parents. Listening to my siblings' stories about their trips all over the world also helped, as well as watching Around the World with Willy Fog on TV :)

    As I grew up, and while I was still studying... read more
