This is pigeon house which farmers came out a good idea for droppings collection as the fertilizer. Some pigeon house has been colored red outside to attract pigeon to fly inside.

Around 7am, we alighted at the bus stop of Goreme. We’ve been looking forward to stay in the cave room in Peri pension. Cave rooms are famous here. We were disappointed when the guy told us all cave rooms were fully booked. ‘All rooms cost US$25 per night, cave rooms at US$30.’ my head was aching when the guy explaining to us.

After some arguments, he unwillingly put us into an ordinary room with bathroom attached at the rate of US$20 we’ve booked via phone in Istanbul. We were unhappy for his attitude & felt cheated.

After this lesson, we have decided not to book room in advance via phone & find our accommodation directly when we reach the next destination.
 

CAPPADOCIA DAY-TOUR

Meanwhile, there’s a guy urging us hurry if we wish to join their day tour. Since it was a perfect weather with a clear blue sky for good shooting, we didn’t want to waste our time arguing with the pension owner.

It is wise to join a tour since the transport here is not convenient. Half of the passengers were from Peri pension. They were Japanese youth. Only 2 of us came from Malaysia. All of us mixed with other foreigners stayed in other pensions.

We started up our day tour with the pigeon house first. The red color outside the small holes was said to attract pigeon to fly inside for droppings collection as the fertilizer. Farmers in the old days were indeed brilliant for such an idea.
