Okay, so finally the photo to accompany this postcard is correct. These are just some of the cave dwellings in Cappadocia. We're staying in the old town of Gorome which is smack bang in the middle of Cappadocia (literally, the land of beautiful horses), a magical place with an extraordinary landscape of natural formed "fairy chimneys" and breathtaking valleys that can only be seen to be believed.

Our days mainly consisted of lying about on the cushioned deck in the sun drinking beer, leaping in to the turquoise ocean for a swim, playing backgammon and exploring the islands and ports we stopped at along the way... oh, and of course eating the regular meals cooked by the crew.
