View from the very dated Hotel Akyüz in Ankara.

The tour has begun.

Walking to have a quick look at the Topaki Palace 1st garden and visiting a local fruit and vege market.

Onto the Blue Mosque. Shoes off and in. Not as blue as the name would suggest.

Off in our little, but very comfortable bus on the longish first day journey. Lunch at a Turkish wayside stop - squat toilets, for those who needed it. Visit to the salt lake, a karavanseri and onto Goreme.
