Turkey - From Istanbul s otogar (that s bus station to English speakers), I boarded an overnight coach, arriving in Cappadocia at the crack of dawn. in the town of G reme. People have been carving homes into the rocks of this surreal landscape for ages. And what did I do after a night on a bus without sleep, but go hiking for hours. I walked the Rose Valley to avusin, catching a dolmus back. The next day, I tramped the Pigeon Valley (devoid of pigeons) to the castle-like U hsar. A busy day next. A plunge into the depths of Derinkuyu, the underground city, which once housed thousands. Then a stroll through the Ilhara Gorge, with monasteries carved into the cliff sides. Finally, ascending the heights of Selime Monastery. Back to another otogar to depart as I arrived. On another overnight coach. The musical accompaniment is Menouthis by E. S. Posthumus and Pompeii also by E. S. Posthumus.

The D Engolmar cave is a cave that is on the north side of Bocairent just on the outskirts of the old mediaeval part of the village. The cave goes underneath the town itself. When I videoed the cave I did not have a torch with me and so was unable to video down at the deepest point, however in photos we took with flash we have since noticed that the cave seems to carry on even deeper than we had originally thought, so I do intend to go back someday and explore the cave better with a good torch.
