Muzaffarabad sparkling at night. Hills covered with houses. Every home turn on the lights, making this not only covered hill that gloomy darkness. I even thought of Hong Kong. Although there are no tall buildings here, Muzaffarabad no less beautiful.

“Electricity, water, all free for the earthquake victims for six months, 24 hours a day,” said Rashid. No wonder everyone’s night lights. The city is like a sea of twinkling stars, to climb from the earth’s surface, down the mountainside, to the high heavens to join the real star on the horizon.

Cave Dwellings in Cappadocia, Turkey

In ancient times, two powerful volcanoes of the Central Anatolian Plateau frequently erupted, causing their lava to gush Cappadociaacross the surrounding land over millions of years. Hasan Dagi and Erciyes Dagi now mark the east and west boundaries of Cappadocia, a region famous for its distinct volcanic landscape, whose soft rock has been continuously hewn by nature and the people who have lived there.

Landing in Kayseri Airport at about 7 a.m., my two companions and I had left Istanbul about two hours earlier and we were tired, but we only had one day in the Cappadocia region and we were determined to make it count. So what can you do in one day in Cappadocia? A lot!

After landing at Kayseri Airport and taking the shuttle provided by our hotel, we arrived at the Kismet Cave Hotel, and were warmly welcomed with tea and a delicious breakfast. Most of the hotels in the region are “cave hotels” which means that they are carved into the stone and provide a unique experience.

It can get very hot or cold depending on the season, and we did lose electricity for a few hours at one point, but it was all part of the adventure. Despite the slight feeling of roughing it, the beds were very comfortable and the bathroom very luxurious.

After cleaning up and eating we were finally ready to start our day at about 9 a.m. We quickly decided to rent a car from one of the many vehicle rental places so we could cover a lot of ground. Had it not been cold with the possibility of rain, we surely would have rented scooters, which would have been the perfect way to see the countryside.
