After the relaxing day in Istanbul we drove to Ankara. Traffic was a real challenge for us, requiring manoeuvres we are not used to from driving in "orderly" Germany. In Ankara, the special assignment for all the teams was a challenge, too: To have a picture taken of the whole team on step 17 of Anitkabir (Atatürk's mausoleum) is not as easy as it sounds.....
On we went to Cappadocia. In the evening, after 12 hours of driving, we reached the camping site in Göreme. What a beautiful sight! The stunning landscape with its bizarre "fairy chimney" rock formations was dipped in the golden light of the sunset. Göreme National Park (Göreme Milli Parklar in Turkish) is rightly on the Unesco World Heritage List! After errecting our tents, we enjoyed a delicious dinner of local specialities, prepared by the team's gifted cooks.
