Cappadocia

A bit late today but have draft 1 (aka where I fuck around) of an article I'm writing for my club's newsletter! It's short and shitty but that's a problem for tomorrow's Leah. The first draft just needs to exist, after all <3

*****

Picture this: The sun is barely gracing the horizon, painting the sky in lilac and orange. The air is cold on your skin, fire roaring above your head as you sail over a landscape straight out of a movie. That is what local student [REDACTED] experienced when he rode in a hot air balloon, soaring over the hills and chasms of Cappadocia.

Cappadocia, also known as Kapadokya, is one of the biggest attractions in Turkey, and no wonder, for it is a fascinating showcase of both geography and history. Its unique rock formations known as fairy chimneys, alongside peculiarly soft tufa rock, were the results of ancient volcanic eruptions that contributed to its magically alien setting.

On his 3 day visit there, [REDACTED] stayed at a cave hotel, one of the many built right into the cliffside. He reported it to be one of the highlights of his trip, thanks to the magical architecture, gorgeous views, and fascinating history. Every morning, he had the pleasure of waking up to a brilliant sunrise dotted with hot air balloons and dramatic cliffs, going down to one of the many beautiful cafes in the area and having a steaming cup of Turkish black tea.

He and his family visited many local attractions, including Ozkonak underground city, Goreme national park and several valleys. Though he found every location to be worth its while, he reported it to be his favourite to be Ozonkak, unsurprisingly.

I mean: Just look at its construction! A miracle of ancient technology, like something out of a fairy tale. It boggles the mind just to think about it, and frightens the body just to crawl inside. Thousands of years ago, people thrived beneath the surface, with wineries, kitchens and even stables inside the complex of tunnels.

The food was another spectacular draw of Cappadocia, our interviewee mentioned. Having a pot of still-smoking pottery kebab, a local delicacy, gorging yourself on spiced, juicy meat and vegetables, and tearing into some freshly baked flatbreads are all must-dos. As [REDACTED] succinctly put it, “The kebabs were bussin on god fr.”

However, the greatest hit with him and his family was in fact the hot air balloons. Long before dawn one morning, he was up and fully dressed, breathing in the fresh frigid air alongside twenty other soon-to-be hot air ballooners. The field they waited in was littered with many other balloons, each patterned and coloured to stand out.

When they took off, it was one by one, rising in the air like a leviathan from a fairy tale. Hundreds of people floated through the sky that morning, each enraptured by the same fiery dawn above them and heart-stopping drop beneath them.

The ride lasted about a half hour, though some others could go on for far beyond that. One supposes that there is no such thing as too long a ride, that a day on that gravity-defying giant would be amazing, that a lifetime there would be one well spent. Alas, the balloons only take off when weather is good, and [REDACTED] was fortunate to board it even once.

The day-to-day life of Cappadocia held many delights, too. Of particular note would be the massive population of cats, both wild and domestic, found in every place a cat could live. There were fluffy creatures napping on the sidewalk, well-groomed little ones watching over their owners' shops, even cats inside restaurants, begging for some food! Any cat-lover would be enraptured by their abundance, and their friendliness to boot. Though, be warned: they will try to eat your food.

So hop on a flight and come see Cappadocia one day! We promise that the kebabs are ‘bussin on god fr’!

#Honestly the only reason I'm posting this is cos of the bussin bit #My friend did in fact say that when I interviewed him. It was hilarious #writing #my writing #writerscommunity #creative writing #writing community #spilled ink #writeblr #cappadocia #holiday

Cappadocia

King’s Study, Cordonian Palace

Bright rays of light streamed through the bay windows as Liam sat down at his desk to open and review the mail he received while away on his honeymoon.

Next to his ornate inbox on his desk, was the morning paper.

He dropped the stack of correspondence he had just picked up back down as he read the bold lettering printed above the picture captured of the Royal couple leaving the jet as they arrived home.

‘IS OUR HEIR HOME?’

‘KING LIAM SMILES WIDELY ARRIVING WITH HIS QUEEN.’

***

Reclining his chair, his thoughts went back in time to just four weeks ago...

...it all started on their honeymoon, when Javier knocked the spoon of amuse bouche, having raw fish, out of Riley’s hand. Giving his apologies, ‘To have almost destroyed Cordonia’s future’, he assumed that Riley was pregnant.

Taking it in stride, they laughed together as if nothing had happened, and continued with a leisurely dinner.

...and then the intrusion of camera flashes, unknown at the time, were from unwelcome and uninvited paparazzi that were invading their privacy. It wasn’t until they arrived home and read the articles written about them and seen the pictures in the tabloids, did they realize how truly intrusive those cameras had been.

...and on the last night on the island being told that the King and Queen of Auvernal arrived uninvited, wanting ‘to discuss the issue of his heir’.

Arriving home with ‘a massive crowd of citizens and paparazzi’ waiting at Valtoria, which was to be expected.

Yes, it was a normal occurrence for me, but for Riley, it was a new reality. A world she had never personally experienced before.

My Queen won the hearts of our people and answered their questions with confidence and grace, despite the audacity of the press.

As we entered the estate, however, the intrusive remarks by members of the court were even more personal and direct.

...and then there was Madeleine. She was not only rude, but also snide and sarcastic.

Liam’s thoughts were interrupted by a light knocking on the door of his study.

“Come,” he said without looking up from his desk.

Opening the door slowly, Riley stepped inside quietly closing the door behind her.

“I hope I am not interrupting...” she began to say hesitantly.

“Riley, my love, come here.” He smiled warmly as he stood and quickly moved around his desk. Taking her into his arms, “you are always welcome here, anytime.”

“Hi Liam,” Riley smiles coyly, wrapping her arms around his neck.

Breathing in her sweet smelling hair, Liam placed his hand on her neck and tilted her head up to capture a not so innocent kiss on her lips.

After a few long seconds of exchanging passionate kisses, Liam pulled away, and gently caressed her cheek.

“What would you say if I told you that we are going on an adventure this weekend?"

A broad smile spread across her face, and she looked up at him in anticipation.

“I would say, ‘when do we leave?’”

Chuckling, Liam took her hand and led her to sit on the sofa by the bay window.

Sitting down in a wingback chair directly across from Riley, Liam said,

“‘What we need is space to ourselves.’ We have been home for a day and a half, and I think we need a distraction.”

Riley giggled, "Oh, my King, that look in your eye tells me that you thought of something spectacular!"

“Yes, My Queen, Indeed I did," he smiled widely.

Laughing, Liam reached over and pulled her onto his lap, and gave her another kiss.

"How does riding in a hot air balloon at sunrise over vast valleys sound? Or staying at a luxury hotel inside of a cave within a sandstone cliff?”

“Oh my, yes! That sounds amazing!”

“Good, because that is exactly what I have planned for us this upcoming week,” he said with a twinkle in his eyes.

"Love, we are going to Cappadocia, Turkey.”

“Really? I thought we were going on a road trip in the U.S. with Hana, Maxwell and Drake?” Riley questioned, raising her eyebrow.

“Don’t worry we will still arrive on Texas in time for Bertrand and Savannah’s wedding. But, instead of sharing time with our friends, I decree, my queen needs pampering.”

***

Royal Jet, on the tarmac

Aboard the Royal jet, Riley was settling into her seat as Liam discussed the flight plans with the pilot before take-off.

“Your majesty, the flight will take approximately three hours, and we should be arriving in Cappadocia shortly after.”

“Thank you, Captain,” Liam replied.

Turning to Riley, “It seems like our adventure is just about ready to start.”

Bastien and Mara were just entering the cabin, taking their seats behind the Royal couple as the sound of the engines increased in sound.

As the jet lifted off the tarmac, Liam squeezed Riley’s hand.

“We are going to see a part of the world that most people have never been to before. We’re going to experience things that very few people ever get to enjoy. And, most importantly, we are going to spend time away from court.”

“Madeleine, Godfrey, and our royal visitors are going to revolt. When they find out we left the Capital, they...”

“Riley, you forget something very, very important. You are my Queen now. Our word is law in Cordonia. As far as Bradshaw, Isabella and Amalas are concerned, they are uninvited guests and do not dictate our schedules. The reason there is a Royal council is to support the Crown in whatever the Queen and King decides.”

“I’m sorry, Liam, I shouldn’t worry about everyone else.”

Smiling, Liam kissed her hand, “It’s just one of your qualities that I love so much. Sometimes you must let go of the reins otherwise you’ll drive yourself crazy. Okay?”

Grinning and nodding her head, Riley asked, “now, tell me more about this trip; what do you have in-store for us?”

“Well, once we arrive in Cappadocia, we are going to travel to a town called Goreme. That is where the hotel we are staying at is situated. It’s just outside of Goreme. The entire town is built into the side of a mountain, with many caves that are used for living quarters by locals.”

“It sounds amazing!”

“There are several other villages near Goreme, including Selime and Nevsehir. All of them are lush and green, especially during the spring season. There are hot springs that we can enjoy, as well as several museums and ruins that we will visit. The area is rich in history, as well as culture.”

“Oh Liam, it sounds incredible.”

“Yes, it is. Now, I want you to relax and let me plan everything. I know how much you love surprises, and I don’t intend to disappoint.”

With a wink, Liam added, “and, we will have lots of opportunities to work on our family.”

***

When they landed in Cappadocia, a large white Mercedes SUV was waiting to escort them to their hotel in Goreme.

As they travelled, Liam explained the local landscapes, including the tall, cone shaped rock formations known as ‘fairy chimneys’. “These were formed 60 million years ago after a sequence of volcanic eruptions hit the area.

The name ‘Cappadocia’ is derived from the Persian word, ‘Katpatuka’, meaning the land of beautiful horses. In ancient times, gifts or tributes of horses from this region were presented to ancient Assyrian and Persian kings.”

“It sounds like horses were paid for taxes to the crown,” Riley replied.

“Yes, in fact the locals here still value horses and offer visitors an alternate mode of transport, instead of motor vehicles.”

Liam directed the driver to slow down as they travelled by the rock cut churches. “They say that these churches number up to 600, and there is a possibility that many are yet to be discovered. The chapels were carved into the soft rock by monks in the dark ages, and some of them have kept their original impressive frescoes with amazing detail.

Superstitious locals scratched out the eyes of some of the figures due to the fear of the ‘evil eye’.”

“Well, we can check it out tomorrow morning after our balloon cruise.”

Kayakapi Premium Caves Hotel

After checking in, they were personally ushered to their penthouse suite by the resort chamberlain.

“Your Majesties, this hotel is set inside 8 original fairy chimneys and has an indoor pool that resembles an ancient Roman bathhouse and spa.”

Liam squeezed Riley’s hand, pulling her close to his side.

Continuing, the chamberlain pointed out the traditional artifacts and artwork throughout the hotel as they walked passing by the sunrise balloon viewing terrace.

Arriving inside their penthouse suite, Liam chuckled watching Riley’s jaw drop.

“You didn’t tell me there was a pool.... inside our suite!”

“Of course not,” Liam said with a laugh.

Laughing, she smacked him playfully on the arm.

“No, you did not.”

“Oh good.”

Liam set her down on the edge of the pool, then poured two flutes of champagne and handed one to her.

“To our new life together,” clinking their crystal flutes.

Taking a sip of champagne, Riley held her flute up, “to riding the skies tomorrow.”

Liam raised his flute and added,

“Because at sunrise we will be on a hot air balloon ride, for the absolute best view of the region in all its glory.”

***

“Love is in the air”

“OH. MY. GOD. I feel like we are flying over the moon!’

As Liam stepped up behind Riley, he wrapped his arms around her waist in a hug and placed a soft kiss on her neck.

“Hidden beneath the landscape are over 50 underground cities. An interesting fact is that these cities held all the necessary facilities to lead an everyday life. These cities had everything a typical town would have, from wine presses to cooking places, oil storage, and livestock pens. These cities served as a safe space for Christians escaping persecution by Arabs.

In fact, the name ‘Goreme’ means ‘one cannot see in here’.”

Leaning back against him. She rested her head on his shoulder.

“I love you,” he whispered.

“I love you, too,” she murmured.

Looking over her shoulder at Liam, “this place is amazing!”

Gazing at the ancient rock formations rising from the ground like castles and churches, Liam smiled.

“It certainly is. I had no idea that these places existed until a few months ago.”

“This is so beautiful,” Riley said, looking around the stunning landscape below.

“Indeed, it is.”

***

Royal jet, en route to the U.S.

Riley awoke from a nap due to turbulence. She sat up in her seat and reached for Liam’s hand.

“What is it? Are you okay?”

“I’m fine, the air turbulence is getting to me.”

Lifting her hand to his lips, he gave her a gentle kiss.

Riley felt her stomach turn, and she took a breath.

Moving closer, Liam stroked her cheek.

“Are you sure? You look pale.”

“Thank you so much for taking me on this trip.” Riley was clearly getting emotional. “I love you so much.”

Reaching over, he brushed aside her hair, kissing the top of her

Forehead.

“As soon as the wedding is over, I will take you home.” Riley looked up at her husband, “I am already home.... “You are my home.”

My OTP Liam & Riley, LiRi
