Cappadocia, Aksaray

The Taurus Mountains in front of us. The mountain is 3756 meters high with many peaks over 3000 meters.

We was very pleased that they several times a day clean the windows of the bus, taking photographs through dirty windows isn't so fun. This is at our stop in Aksaray.

Cappadocia, Aksaray caravanserai built by Alaattin Keykubat 1

This is our first visit to a caravanserai, but we have seen them after the roads earlier. The silk and tee roads go through here on the highland and it's was important for the travelers to have some secure accommodation places to stay at.

This caravanserai was built by Alaattin Keykubat 1 in 1229.

After going up the stairs you have to go down again. Handrails were not invented then!

An old farm machinery, we could a couple of times see farmers get driving with their horse-drawn carriages.

Cappadocia, Konya caravanserai built by Esed-din Ruzbe

Our second visit to a caravanserai, this is at Konya.
