Like being on another planet

After a tiring but comfortable bus ride (our bus had a 'bus steward' who brought coffee, and cake during the night) we arrived in Goreme, Cappadocia and we have not stopped taking photographs since. The landscape is unlike any I have witnessed and it feels like we have landed on mars!



These enormous rock formations are everywhere, forming into organic shapes like melted white marshmallow in parts and in others into mushroom shapes and what look like clusters of stone villages built for fairies and elves. Amazingly people have carved out little houses inside these rocks and you can see doors and windows in the rocks where they have lived or continue to live. I think I am still exhausted from the bus ride - we are missing a night's proper sleep - or I would attempt a better job at describing the scenery. Some more pics below of "Mars":
