We walked in caves:
Crouched and slithered in caves:
Climbed up and down to caves:
Raised the roof in caves:

Best of all were the sweeping valleys, which combined all of the elements mentioned above within a setting that was part desert, part moon, part forest and part miscellaneous:

On our way to the Goreme Open Air Museum... which (see below) turned out to be pretty lame and a total tourist trap.
We also spent some time in bars watching the All Blacks open their world cup campaign against Tonga at 10am. Good excuse to start drinking early...
