We have had a bit of a diversion from our 1974 trip towards India to in order to visit Cappadocia again. Sivas wasn’t on our 1974 route so I am going to give you another extract from our way back in 1974 as I have a photo from then (the last photo we took in Turkey).
1974
Sunday, 14th July
We got up very late and drove to Pamukkale and the remedial waters. Very strange and unusual but not very deep. Went into Denizli and had a meal after looking for ages for a restaurant. Camped for the night about 15 kms. outside. Loads of mosquitos and very hot.

Sunday 15th June
I was awoken at 4am by the call to prayer from the nearby mosque but I decided to sleep a little longer. We had a private transfer to Kayseri bus station. Our driver very kindly made sure we got to the right Flixbus stop. We had front seats and we were offered hand sanitiser, menthol sweets and water. About half way through the journey we were stopped in a random search by police and had to show our passports. Sivas is a lovely modern city, clean with green spaces and good road links. It is obviously not the usual tourist area which is a welcome change from the last couple of days. Our hotel is a converted ancient building built by the Ottomans.
