We're not sure, but somewhere down the road, we all caught a bug. We suspect it happened in Diyabakir where it was extremely hot.
Fact is that Onno was the first one to get sick, then Noelle (who got very sick with a high fever and rested all day in Goreme). Next in line was Thijs who got sick during the first day in Goreme and just when we decided we would prefer to carry on, I got sick...
As I'm not a big eater, my bug-ratio was less than with the other family-members, so I guess I was the least sick off all.
While Thijs got sick too and Noelle rested, got rid of her fever, visited the bathroom every 10 minutes and slept most of the day in the tent, Onno and I went for tiny drive and a stroll into one of the famous valleys in Goreme (another famous Unesco site). We both couldn't leave the camp-ground too long, as we needed toilets in our proximity, but we still enjoyed the little walk we did.
The view was amazing and I let Onno drive the car back to the campground again. He smiled all the way back (a small drive on a deserted dirt-road).
He now refers to this little moment of quality time (driving the car) as 'The best thing of this whole entire vacation.'
We regret to leave Goreme without having been able to actually explore the valley's, or a balloon-ride, but we don't regret to leave a tourist trap like that.
All feeling sick and irritated by the constant swarm of wasps, it took us hours to pack all our belongings again.
We did, however use the opportunity to wash a few loads and re-organize our luggage. We have now one suitcase left with clean clothes and should take us through the final 9 or 10 days of our journey!
