The day of stairs

This was a busy day! We were up early to get away by 8.30. We visited an underground city. This was started 2000 BC. It was 16 stories deep but we could only access 8 stories. That was plenty. It is amazing that hundreds of people lived in this place for years. They had cattle and chickens down there, graves, churches... Everything except privacy apparently! It was then back to walking 7 km this time. It was pretty hard going but there were some interesting churches along the way.  Lunch was on the river and most enjoyable.  It was then back to climbing. Another fort up a massive rock formation. Good views for nearly the top. A short drive to another underground city. This was smaller but still interesting. We then went to a mosque which was converted from a church. We climbed to the top of a hill to the Church of St Gregory, one if the early, Christian bishops.  To the hotel for a shower.
