welcome to Cappadocia or the closest thing to mars on planet
earth in this Post I'm going to show you some incredible landscapes 2 000 year
old castles and some of the coolest things you can do in Cappadocia.
okay it's 6 40 p.m and after about six hours of flights and
buses and standing in the wrong baggage claim area for 30 minutes (J) oh we just
followed those f****** people,Success!
we've made it to Cappadocia cute cats here too first
impressions of Cappadocia? I mean I'm
blown away people actually living up there?
there's windows and doors receptions on the top floor
oh wow
no ooooh no (laughs)
okay we're at the rooftop of our hotel this place is so [ __
] cool
it's a nice rooftop.it's 5 17 am and I slept for three
hours.how do you feel J? I'm pretty good Ready to go. It should be one degree above
freezing. Let's go! Yep They're here, we're late Champagne time. (Spanish)
champagne You excited? (J) For some
champagne? Yeah I'm not (laughs) we will say all together: one two
three and boom okay?
Cheers! I feel like an Instagram model We should do the one
with the clink in the middle, Clink. Clink This is the Instagram moment of the
day. That was one of the more epic sunrises I've seen in a while. I think the
most epic thing about today was our sound system which was a cell phone also
there was a champagne ceremony at the end which was exactly, what I did in
Mexico city four years ago for those of you who've been following , this
channel for a while at this time they're saying.
it's gonna explode and everyone was walking away and i was
like how bad could it be and then the [ __ ] champagne got all over my screen
the rest of my camera and now it's all sticky but yeah I think we're gonna head
back to the hotel and continue on to our next adventure.Back in the city of
dick shaped houses. it's 3:18 p.m. i basically spent the whole day sleeping Now
we're gonna get some doner and then go on a horseback riding trip.
i think the way to make doners or wraps here are very similar
to how they make tacos, the pastor ones, in Mexico. Also very very similar to
how they make shawarmas in Bangladesh but that's a lot more juicy a lot less
dry and lot less hard the texture-wise We're at this place called Sunrise point.
which is a eight minute walk away from where we live and this
is not the best way to face the best
view is that way towards Goreme which is the town where we're staying which I
guess it's like the most touristy part of Cappadocia. And also cute dogs here
just. like everywhere else in Turkey
we're at the horse farm you can't tell from the helmet. Look
at all these horsies.the horse's name is Mukta. What's your name? (Eren) okay
nice to meet you Eren.What's your name?
Nadir. Where are you from? Bangladesh but it's a Turkish name I know, how's
your ass? My legs are so sore
okay we're taking a 20-minute break from riding horses,so
far both mine and J's horses are being controlled by some other dudes and at first
i wasn't happy about that,but then like the cliff drops are starting to get
more dangerous, so it's maybe good to have someone else controlling it
big size 20 20 40. we're back at our hotel.. you can come in
yeah. How was your first bidet experience? we have five hours or six hours of
exploring time tomorrow and a lot of places
we wanted to go so we just.. (narration) so we rented a car because the
plan was to wake up at 7 00 am and drive around Cappadocia but then we forgot
to set our alarms right.
it's 11 45 a.m and nothing went according to plan ,because
we accidentally slept in until 11 a.m .so we obviously didn't wake up at seven
to get breakfast and go on all these hikes but we still have a little more than
two hours till our shuttle picks us up for the airport .so we're gonna try to
make the most of those two hours and at least use the car we got here's the
open air museum that we don't have time to see right now
all right we're on the road. This is not going to be
cinematic, It's going to be just everything I can fit in into this morning
while seeing some stuff. We're getting cookies
for breakfast, the breakfast of champions. This car sounds [ __ ] up by
the way. (J) I know we're at our first stop of the day
Orthahisar Castle which is right just behind me and it looks largely under
renovation.it's a pretty nice view though over here kind of looks like the rest
of Cappadocia we definitely went down the wrong way .the first time but I think
we're on the right track okay castle is closed right now because it's raining.
That's the reason right?
it rained this morning. It did yeah. next spot yeah that wasn't as successful as
we hoped it would be but we're going to the next town of Uchisar to see this
famous valley called Pigeon Valley we're at Pigeon valley as you can probably
guess from all the pigeons around us we're going down the valley or a little
bit down because we don't have time to
do the full hike .yeah I'm not gonna try to do that with the
backpack. So just a minute into the hike you can see these pigeon holes and
these have been around for thousands of years because pigeons were apparently very
important back in the days for fertilization purposes quick tip: if you're
staying in Cappadocia, which is the whole region,
most people stay in Goreme (town) because that's where the
hot air balloon rides are from but there's this nearby town which is only a 10
minute drive away called Uchisar with the castle and we think the views are
honestly a lot better from here than it was from Goreme although Goreme was
pretty beautiful by itself and you could probably also get a hot air balloon
ride arranged from here
so if we were to do it again we would stay over here. we
don't know what the name of this place is but this viewpoint is actually better
than the pigeon valley lookout point. Drive for two minutes past pigeon valley
and you'll see this incredible view. i'm gonna shoot the outro for this vlog here
because we have to rush back to our hotel find J's (phone) charger and then take the shuttle back
to the airport. That's it for Cappadocia.
I'll be back again from another place in Turkey and if you
want to get more real-time updates on. I'll catch you guys on the next one. that
is so cool!
