Today we were walking up Bozdag, the highest mountain in the immediate region. It has steep, rocky cliffs and a flat top, and I was quite nervous about going up since I can get a bit panicky about heights. I'm glad I did go though, to help put my irrational fears in their place.
It wasn't too bad going up and on the tricky bits I kept my eyes on the shoes of the person in front. The view from the top was fantastic - all the valleys we had been walking in were laid out:
Up on the top among the rocks were a few tiny early flowers which we tried not to stand on, but they were hard to see:
I have to admit that while I was attempting to be brave, I was immensely relieved to get to the end - we all got a high five from Firat. This one doesn't show the drop from the cliffs - I was too scared to take photos! I was very impressed with all the others who went down paths like this very easily.
Our final evening ended at Goreme with the sunset bringing out the red in the mountain we had just been on.
