Early Wednesday, October 3, we rented a car with our cruising friends, John and Sharon, and departed on a seven day road trip to Cappadocia, located in the interior of Turkey.  As it was around 550 miles to Cappadocia, we spent two days on the road each way.  The first day we drove from time to time along scenic mountainous roads to the small town of Egirdir, located in the Lake District near Isparta.  Egirdir, situated along the shore of Lake Egirdir and protruding out into the lake, was joined by a causeway to two islets.  We spent our first night on the furthermost islet in a lovely small family pension.
The next day we continued on to Cappadocia.  It was apple harvest time, and our route took us along the eastern shore of Lake Egirdir where huge piles of apples were stacked along the road waiting to be sorted for market by workers.  The drive from Egirdir to Konya also took us by many small Turkish villages.  Approaching the city of Konya the terrain changed as we were now in the Anatolian steppe.
