So there we were, in a town called Göreme, that is mostly carved our of the rocks and strange formations and Steve had already requested that he wanted us to stay in a cave room, so we found "The Flintstones". It couldn't be more appropriate! I totally felt like Wilma!!!
Our room was a cave, carved out of the side of a mountain. There were turkish rugs on the floor, a fire place (for decor only - since there is central heating) and a pretty nice bathroom with a jacuzzi! (Ok, that is a huge difference between us and the Flintstones, if I were to go back and watch th cartoons again they would probably have a dinosaur or some prehistoric creature pouring water out of their mouths so they could shower).
Anyway, the views from our windows were spectacular and we had a huge terrace where you could sit and enjoy the sunset after a whole day of hiking. So rough being a cave man!
To make the whole "cave people" concept more real we decided to do our own laundry (in the jacuzzi), that was quite and experience! It reminded me of college days when with Vicky and Guille (my roomates) we use to try to save some money by doing our laundry on the bathtub and we would use our feet to wash them as if we were stomping grapes!
The place also had a nice swimming pool and a nice traditionally decorated area where you could watch TV, use internet, play pool or meet people. We met some really nice people from New Zealand, Spain and the US. We really enjoyed our stay in Göreme at the Flintstones!
