Day 46:From Aksaray to Kapadokya in
Turkey
June 15, 2012; Distance
covered today: 95 Km; Total: 3575 Km
It
was so comfortable in the campground last night that I didn’t want to leave for
Kapadokya. I was wondering if I had to stay another day there and relax.
I
left the campground at about seven, stopped at a grocery shop and had breakfast
(cheese and bread with some juice), and kept riding. The condition of the road
was no better.
About
5 Km to Nevshehir, I saw a couple of cyclists riding opposite my direction. I
went up to them and then we went to a teahouse to have a chat. They were going
to Greece so I gave them my map of Greece. They suggested me a campground in
Kapadokya. We talked a lot and exchange stories of our rides. Then we departed.

I
rode on some tar, oil, and gravel to reach Kapadokya. I found the campground
and checked in. After taking a shower, I made some spaghetti. There were two
cyclists from France who were on their way to India through central Asia. It
was great to talk to them and listen to their stories of their ride.
The
campground is nice; rather treeless though. The staffs are very friendly and
helpful. They get a discount for any activities that you want to do in
Kapadokya. During the day, it is a challenge to find shade to relax. Not all
the spots are in the shade.
