Do you have ID?

We arrived in Konya on Sunday morning. Everything was quiet, almost no one on the streets. We were walking to a spot suitable for further hitchhiking and in the same time Tony was running from one shop to another but he wasn't able find new sleeping bag.

Truck driver who brought us to the city was born in Konya. When we told him we'd just pass the city he become angry. He told us that Konya is like a gem in Turkey. Actually he told us true, modern city with nice architecture and clean! One of the cleanest cities in Turkey that I saw. But our mission was to get to Cappadocia on the same day. So we just skipped Konya.

On our journey in Turkey we didn't use buses or trains at all. It wasn't question of money for us but something more important. We were able to socialized with locals much more deeper and get to know country in such a level which traveling with buses nor trains wouldn't guarantee.
People who took us on the road were always speaking with us, asking questions or showing interesting places. They wanted to show us the best from Turkey.

When we found good spot and started our classic pose immediately the first car stopped. It was an old couple. "Tony's language support" helped them understand us. They were surprised what we are doing here, even a bit angry. Term hitchhiking was unknown for them. Anyway after talks they still weren't sure about us and wanted to see our IDs. It was first time after thousands of hitchhiked kilometres when someone asked me for ID. They took us to Nevşehir, which was more than we expected.

Nevşehir, modern city full of muslim traditions.

Close to Nevşehir was our awaited Cappadocia. As you know Cappadocia isn't just one city but it's whole area which contains several underground cities.
