Monday Sept 6

Today we flew to Cappadocia. The land is volcanic with areas of volcanic Tuff covered by basalt. As the basalt erodes the volcanic Tuff below is quickly washed away leaving caves and spectacular cone shaped formations.

The rock is soft enough that it's easy to dig into so people have been making houses and storerooms below ground for 4000 years.

We went down an underground city that goes down 11 levels.
