One of the best things about traveling with CJ is you don’t have to do the planning. She will do the research and come up with activities that appeal to all involved. If there is something, in particular, you want to get out of the trip, tell her and she will make it happen. She is a thorough researcher for hotels that are clean and convenient but don’t break the bank. She has booked many hotels for me and has never landed us in a dud. CJ is decisive so you don’t waste half the day deciding where to go and what to do. I enjoy hopping into the passenger seat and letting her take the lead. I get to enjoy the scenery, relax and leave the details to her.

Tuz Golu is the 2nd largest lake in Turkey. It can be a day trip from Kapadokya, Ankara, or Konya. They produce 60% of all salt in Turkey here.
We were hoping for some amazing pink photos. In the right conditions and light the lake is pink and is home to 10,000 pairs of nesting flamingos.
We got some interesting photos of the lake and the salt!
The cafe and giftshop has some good products and I got a free magnet for my collection.

When the panorama is too big for one photo! ...
Just a few of the pics from wandering up, down, in, out, and around Devrent Imagination Valley. I saw rocks that looked like lizards,a bunny, a pair of chickens, and a hedgehog talking to a monkey! Oh and lots of cool fairy chimneys plus a tortoise. No two hikes are ever the same. And we all blazed our own paths at different times.
TIP: Cross the road from the tea and snack shack, then hike up the hills. When you get to the top, follow the dirt road through the cherry orchard and then go down that valley. It is definitely the road less traveled by, so watch for sharp prickers and stickers.

Sometimes a missed turn takes you exactly where you need to be. (Even if that turn takes you down a winding dirt road in the middle of nowhere.)
Uchisar Castle was carved out of this 60 meter hill and up to 1000 people lived there in the 7th century CE.
I'm not sure I would have enjoyed living with "the Flintstones" but visiting is great!
Spectacular views in all directions.

Across the courtyard from the underground city is a "new" church built in the 1850s. It is currently closed but even walking around the outside was cool. A local man demonstrated the stone pillar rotates. I tried it and need to hit the gym a few hundred times, then maybe I could move it too!
