Stupid Airlines

June 14, 2005 - Tagged as: Travel

I was hoping to change my flight out of Turkey so that I could spend a bit more time here. It turns out that changing my flight out of Turkey is pretty easy, but changing my flight from Amsterdam to Vancouver could be very expensive and inconvenient. Unless something unexpected happens, I'll be sticking with my original flights.

I'm in Cappadocia right now. It's known for its underground cities and faerie chimneys. I spent last night on an overnight bus to get here (ugh), but the night before, I spent at Kadir's Treehouses in Olympos. It was a very relaxing place except for this one guy named Rob. He was probably the most irritating person I have ever met and I'm ashamed to say that he is Canadian. Everyone who I have talked to who came into contact with him was repulsed. The tree houses were cool though. Olympos has an area where gas leaks out of the ground and generates natural flames. I didn't see it though because I was too busy doing nothing.

I'm going to explore the underground cities tomorrow and then the next stop is Istanbul followed by a flight to Berlin.

Turkey sounds really neat - different and exotic. You seem to be getting around all right and seeing (or not seeing) some interesting things. I hope that Rob, the irritating Canadian, is the exception and that you are meeting lots of interesting people. Too bad about the $$ involved to change your flight from Amsterdam to Vancouver. Look on the bright side. By coming home on the 28th, you'll still have a week to relax on Hornby Island with your brother and us.

Turkey has been good. Rob was defintely an exception. I have met a lot of really nice people in Turkey. Most of them have been Australian.

lol, how long did you get stuck with this rob character. I dont know if i ever told you about my similar experience with the girl in ireland from winipeg. The worst thing was i ran into her in several different irish cities by coincidence, and she was staying in my hostel and stuff. Good to hear turkey is going well, its one of the places i have to come back to see.
