Cappadocia to Antalya

We spent our last day in Cappadocia hiking around Rose Valley, a large valley filled with caves about 3 kilometers down the road.  We met a German tourist named Mike who spent the day with us, exchanging travel stories and advice.  While walking through town we passed more puppies than we're seen since India, and we were happily surprised when a small girl pup decided to come with us on our chilly and muddy 5 or so kilometer hike.  It was a great day spent exploring our surroundings before we caught another night bus going to Antalya.  We arrived in a very rainy Antalya, and we'll be here for about 4 nights before heading back to Istanbul, spending most of our time visiting the nearby ancient Roman ruins.  Here are the last of our Cappadocia pictures and a couple from our first day in Antalya just wandering around Kaleici, the historical old city where we're staying.

Arriving in Antalya-- the first thing we noticed (other than the torrential downpour) was the many orange trees lining the streets

The next day was nice and sunny
