Türkiye 2022 - Day 4: Göreme Open Air Museum & Devrent Valley

Today is the day we check one off the bucket list. Floating in a hot air balloon along with hundreds of other balloons over the fairy chimneys of Cappadocia. I can't wait to share the amazing photos and experiences with y-

Aaaaaand it rained. Every hot air balloon tour was cancelled and ours was delayed so all hopes and dreams rested on our final morning in Cappadocia the next day.

No point in crying over spilled yoghurt, we indulged in the breakfast buffet spread our hotel offered.

And by indulged, i mean picking some slivers of the few items we are used to eating instead of 10 different types of olives and cheeses.

At least there was good scrambled eggs and tahini, the lovely, creamy cum of the gods.

没有坐到热气球的 loser faces.

As the weather cleared up, we continued with the second day of our tour after breakfast.

First stop is a panoramic view of Göreme, where it felt like gnomes would start popping out of the tiny holes and start performing a musical.

This unique landscape was created when a meteorite from space hit the area and created the huge valley. The damage caused much of the land to be infertile while the surviving peaks were attributed to the crevices from the asteroid which is actually made up by me to waste 10 seconds of your time. The actual reason is simply erosion.

These pigeons and their poop, however, were very real. If NEA saw these people feeding them confirm fine die them.

Next up is the obligatory 买土产 stop. No points for guessing what they are selling.

Old Turkish grandmas create each carpet stitch by stitch. They are then paid in kebabs and the urine of virgin little boys.

Since none of us were named Aladdin, we had no need for a carpet and therefore did not buy anything, much to the chagrin of our tour guide.

We then headed to a massive buffet restaurant where all Cappadocia tour groups seemed to congregate to have lunch here.

No joke the place was so huge that the same food was separated into multiple cafeterias.

Needless to say, the food quality was shit due to being prepared on such a large scale.

Back on the sightseeing route, the Göreme open air museum greeted us with the now perfect weather. Thanks, Allah.

The cave dwellings here were much more intricate and well maintained than what we saw the previous day.

Christian cave drawings from the 4th century are still visible on the walls of the monastery. Again, that is a number that i pulled out from my arse.

Culminating in the Dark Church: a unique elevated Byzantine church carved out from a rock.

A touching moment as this cute couple is ready to announce Reagan's pregnancy.

The view from up top 是不错啦 but these 2 days see so many rocks will jelak.

We spotted a mini hot air balloon designed to scam desperate tourists. Pfft 我们喜欢玩大的.

Passed by a picturesque lake as we headed on to Devrent Valley.

Devrent Valley is known for its unique shaped peaks that resemble certain animals.

Some of them require a certain level of imagination but this one really resembles a camel.

Our final stop of the tour was yet another attempt at getting us to part ways with our cash.

Wasted our time with a pottery demo but hey i’ll waste yours too by not buying a thing.

Tbf the ceramics were beautiful but sorry i no house to place all these so imma take a rain check.

Returning from the tour, we had an eager hotel staff welcome us back with open paws.

This is Limone and he is so cute... so gentle...

Err... that escalated quickly. But sometimes we catch feels and passion takes over so please don't judge.

After fucking a dog, it's time to eat some dog meat at a Chinese restaurant. Our breaking point was finally breached on day 4 so we needed to refuel with some yellow people food.

Oh yes finally some proper rice. 炒饭我爱你.

Mapo tofu 看到很感动.

Tomato egg 有家的感觉.

这个我还好.

We got emotional as we stuffed our faces with mountains of fried rice. Proving that once again, rice is very nice.

After a satisfying dinner, we explored the town center of Göreme and patronised some souvenir shops.

You can't say you have visited Turkiye without being played around by an old Turkish man having Turkish ice cream. 给你玩吧, 反正我的心已经被玩过了.

The pistachio ice cream was nice and interestingly chewy. Unlike gelato which is creamy and melty. Worth getting treated like a fool for.

We then had a spontaneous not say lupsup lupsup massage because we were exhausted from seeing so many holes.

I made a Turkish friend that added me on instagram whom i promptly unfollowed once i got back to SG.

Then disaster struck. Our hot air balloon tour that was booked months ago with Viator was abruptly cancelled, which was a shitty move since we only had one final morning here. We tried asking our hotel concierge if they could find us a slot on short notice but unfortunately all tours were full by then. Hais.

To add insult to injury, it was month end so i had to process my claims while on holiday. The wifi in the room was weaker than Stephen Hawking so i had to work in the hotel lobby but hey, at least got doggo accompany me. Good doggy wait i work finish then i fuck you also.

On a brighter note, we have a room tour to look forward to! Here is our dungeon hotel in full, which can be cool/creepy depending on how you view sex dungeons. Enjoy!
