Wow what a spectacular bit of old road building ,and think of how hard to build back then . What beautiful countryside there in TURKEY 🇹🇷. And those awesome cave city’s I could stay for days in that area it was so beautiful . Thanks again for sharing your wonderful travel memories with us your Over landing friends . From Steve Stott in Sutherlin Oregon U.S.A . :):) 🥂👍🏼😁 .
Cheers Steve, they definitely showed a strong commitment to that tunnel over the 130 years it took to complete! Especially not as it's relatively obsolete. We're glad they did though as it was a great detour!
Your travel is amazing in general and Turkey part is very special...places you are visiting and video covering it is really valuable...thanks for making and sharing.
Hey Jolie and Mark. Greetings from Oz. What amazing tunnels and excavations. Cappadocia must be added to my bucket list ! Thanks for taking us along on your magic adventure.
This is such a beautiful video that I watched it twice! I suffer from a bit of claustrophobia, so those tunnels and caves would have been challenging. Thank you for showing it to us, so that I could enjoy it from my armchair. I really hope to one day visit here with my Troopy too. I hope you got to fly in a hot air baloon?
Cheers! Glad we could take you out of the comfort bubble, albeit from the comfort bubble (a bit of a paradox). We didn’t make it on a balloon though catch the next one to see the show!
What a great road through the tunnels. Those caves, what a trip through yester century. I once got pointed out to me in Europa that Oz only had 250 ish years of white settlement. Aboriginal 50,000 years. It was pointed out recent arrivals (first fleet) Aussies had no culture that had been steeped in time. Which is true. What I found in Europe and surrounds is while history is great, some of that old age tribal/country jealousy/dislike still runs deep.
Thoroughly enjoy watching your vids and the spectacular scenery of these far away lands ! How do you get on with leaving the Troopy while exploring on foot...I'd always be worried if its still there when I got back ? Cheers from Oz.
Ha yeah, it can be a worrying sometimes. For a lot of the countries we worked under the thought process that as the Troopy is so different to the local vehicles it would have to be a pretty calculated theft. Not that that's not possible though the people in the areas we generally visit are too busy getting on with their lives to try and steal and disguise a big 4wd. For general break ins, all the valuables are stored and locked in a hidden compartment.
hi guys, awesome, I wonder how easy is to get lost walking under the caves in order to get back to where the car was parked? I would love to do it , just afraid to get lost. Is there any sign or anything to guide you? thanks again for sharing
Fair question, in the bottom of the valleys getting lost is doable as the different valleys join in various places. If you find a way up the walls though the landscape on top is relatively flat so easy to navigate. There is marked walking trails through some of the valleys though sometimes, as we did, it's easy to misplace the markers. Cheers
Border crossings from here are smooth sailing, essentially rego and passports, once in Europe not even that. If there’s any problems though we’ll put them in. Is there anything you’d like to know about the previous crossings?
Very nicely done. CHEERS FROM OVER SEAS UNITED STATES ♐👍
The drone shots in this video looked amazing and very interesting history of the place. 👌
Cheers
Love experiencing those epic roads with you!! 😍
🙂
Amazing footage, thanks for sharing your travels!
Thanks for watching!
Fab!

Cheers Rob, the landscape around this part of Turkey is incredible. Every changing topography and colours. Definitely exceeded our expectations!
Cappadocia is a land of mountain caves with complex and irregular entrances and exits
You are a nice couple and heroes. Greetings to you and may the Lord protect you. Keep going🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹👍
Amazing Video. Planning a similar route from Malaysia (where I life) back to my hometown in Germany in the next 2 Years.
Cheers, good luck!

Human culture is all the one age. While it has variation, and out infrastructure differs, we all do much the same thing.

Would be great to show what u can of the boarder crossing info
Border crossings from here are smooth sailing, essentially rego and passports, once in Europe not even that. If there’s any problems though we’ll put them in. Is there anything you’d like to know about the previous crossings?
Do you have any plans to drive to Japan?
No plans though would love to. We’ve been a few times now and is one of our favourite countries.
have you guys made it back to perth yet or still on the road?
Neither at present, getting back to Perth will be a while off yet. When we finish this leg on YT we'll think about where to next.
