Our family that we never met

Second day in Nevsehir: We already became a part of that family, and they were treating us like that. We used the day to explore the old town which hides so many abandoned and half-destroyed houses, filled with memories from the past lives of people who used to live there. Broken miracles, old photographs, toothbrushes and calendars with Mecca were keeping us company until rain stopped and we went uphill to see the view from the remaining of a castle. Later on, we went to visit the famous natural wonder - hundreds stone pillars in minaret-like forms, known as Cappadocia.

After the end of our tour, we came back to "our" family, where we met more of "our relatives", who were behaving like they didn't see us for years. I expected they will say something like "- Look at you, you grew up". In any case, it was hard to say goodbye to them. Especially for Ilaria. She would get really emotional, even if a random man shares a piece of bread and cheese with us. However, even it was late, we continued our hitchhiking trip and stood near the sign pointing to Nigde (means "nowhere" in Serbian). Our next destination was the largest port in Turkey, Mersin. A football coach chose to bring us there... and of course, make a stop for a dinner so he can introduce us to the famous meal from the south - Adana kebab. That evening, we managed to reach Mersin, and join the party of our host... or our hosts... actually, we didn't really know how many hosts do we have, and who is a guest, as all of them seemed like living with each other. What a great way to finish the day...
