After we saw that pottery exhibition, the tour was set to have lunch.
Jill and I aren’t big fans of Beijing Chinese food. It is usually quite greasy and very oily.
It tastes like the food is quite slimy and the vegetables don’t have a lot of flavor.
Since we tend towards vegetarian, it makes our choices quite limited or very expensive since the imported veggies and fruits cost so much more than the domestic products.
Since we’ve both been to Turkey before, we knew that we were in for a wonderful meal every time we sat down to eat and we weren’t disappointed.
The very cute restaurant we went to had a nice balcony overlooking the valley but the owners told us to sit inside since the bees were flying around outside and they’d bother us.
We took their advice and ordered our food.
Our group consisted of our friends from Colombia, three women from Holland, and then us.
Our guide, Sukru, took off and we all just hung out, eat and discussed our lives.
The food, as we guessed, was fantastic.
Jill’s main course was mushrooms with cheese on top of it and mine was a clay pot full of veggies in a red sauce.
And, of course, to top it off, we had baklava for dessert.
As we left, we realize that the wine cellar for the restaurant was dug out of the walls, just like our room back at our hotel.
