Cappadocia: Zelve, Avanos, tourist traps

Our guide, Semih, wanted us to follow his itinerary instead of ours, an ongoing struggle. But we ended up seeing what we wanted to see.

The pottery factory was in an ancient rock cave and had beautiful stuff. Being a rock freak, I loved the onyx factory and bought several rock items. The plates we bought and had shipped still haven't arrived.
