Well the only to do to compete with my newfound Athenian police friend was to buy a Turkish costume. I kid you not, it is so comfortable! Maybe not work wear, but very comfortable!
So when we have been travelling down through our various countries, there has been a whole lot of similarities, but Turkey really is quite a different country! Different culture, different landscape and a much nicer climate! Its still hot, but not unbearable like Greece was.
We unfortunately had an extremely early flight- to the extent that we spent more time waiting in customs and check in lines than we did sleeping. The Greeks- great builders, maybe not the most efficient at running an airport!
So tomorrow we are off for some real excitement (not that the rest of the trip hasnt!). We leave at 7pm on an overnight bus to Capadoccia, and arrive around 8 in the morning (750km). We then have 3 days of exploring, hot air ballooning and guided tours. Capadoccia has the most amazing landscape- search it on Google but its famous for having these little cave/hills that look like giant stalagmites and hundreds of years ago, the Christians in the town would hide underground and they have these huge underground cities you can visit.
We are staying in a cave hotel. Yeah you heard right! We are unsure what internet access in caves is like, so we may not be on here for the next 4 days. But we will return with some amazing photos no doubt!!

That's very impressive, Chris. Please tell Troy I'm quite keen to try iced tea. Keep on having a good, safe time. The history you describe seems wonderful. I remember Captain Corelli's Mandolin. Almost envy you the heat, from cold Hamilton. Love Dad
Troy you are determined to be a policeman one way or another. Have fun in the caves and look forward to the photo's. Really looking forward to seeing you again to. We went to Paunui(Coromandel) for weekend maybe not as exciting but we had a lovely time. Love Mum xoxo for you to share.
