Our Cave

A cave with internet access. What could be sweeter?

The cave was very cozy, warm, and there was enough space for all four of us to feel comfortable (unlike our apartment in Istanbul, which proved to be a little bit on the small side for four people).

The children had their own niche, with door, as we had the Suite Cave. Nothing like a boy who can multi-task: he's listening to an audio book and playing a DS game.

The cave walls didn't seem to have any sealant on them, as there would be wall crumbles on the bed every evening when we got ready to crawl under the covers. I could complain about that, but, I did chose a cave, didn't I? And given the general level of grandure in our cave, I could live with a few wall crumbs.

Jeff is not really a cave sort of person, prefering fabulous views to deep dark recess, but he put up with the underground life with good spirits. It's hard to find a cave with a view, let me tell you. 

Breakfast did have a view, though, up top. Here we are at sunset. I was plugging away on NaNoWriMo - the objective is to write 50k words in the month of November. It is an inspiring backdrop for a writer.

This is the view on the way up to breakast: the cave next door. This one is still a residence as opposed to a hotel, so not quite as posh as ours.

And breakfast. What a spread! Fresh bread, local fruits, dates, olives, and my favorite, the home made yogurt.

MIxed with honeycomb from the hive.

Only a tourist would love to eat this stuff, as you have to pick the wax out of your teeth for the rest of the day. But it feels so authentic. And it is tasty - really tasty.

And another sunset view from up top. Can you tell, I really, really enjoyed this trip?
