Surreal City

After a 15 hour bus ride(!) we arrived to what seemed like a place out of a story book. This place is surreal. The landscape consists of a ‘fairy chimneys’ rising out of the ground which were formed by volcanic activity 9 to 3 million years ago. And since they are everywhere people have used them as a foundation for homes and buildings, chiseling out the rock to make living space. So of course we had to find a pension where we could sleep in a cave room! Holy shit. Ramazan is the man! We were treated like kings and queens. He gave us suites instead of a normal room, drove us around, made all of our travel reservations, sent us on our sunset walk with a bottle of wine. I could get used to this leisure stuff.




But after chilling with some breakfast and being blown away by our awesome rooms we were off to see some sights. We took a walk through “Love Valley” and got pretty silly from being surrounded by huge phallic rocks.




I got sucked in to buying a rusted necklace from a sweet old man. We chilled out on a roof top terrace looking at the unbelievable views. We took a nap in our dark, cool and quiet rooms. I enjoyed being able to walk only a few steps horizontally to use a real toilet. Then we reconvened for some dinner and a soccer game. Man, I could travel with Adam and Zoe more often. It’s like everything they touch turns to gold. We found a great little outdoor restaurant and lounged on colorful cushions while we ate and drank. The only bummer was that I watched the most painful sporting event of my life. Ghana vs. Uruguay. It was like watching good vs. evil. Suarezzzz!
