We depart soon From NEVSHEIR, hour stays "imboccando" the road for NIDGE. On the left there is of the meadows of an intense green with the sheep from the marked back, asses, horses and any buffalo.

We two have recovered completely from the intense preceding day to GOREME and continue our trip in the past.

An underground city, that enigma. Now, nothing greener, only the detective story and changing tones from highland "anatolico". A stumpy hill and regulate stands out on of a dead country- we think "noi-" but that reveal to have any busy residences.

The color of the mud becomes annoyed with the houses it is "tutt'uno" with that of the imposing hill.

The indication of KAMAKLI, underground city toward left, we see it and we are already beyond the road where turn, we should return back. We decide to go on for DERINKUYU. We will return after.

We arrive to DERINKUYU, extradite it have asphalted but full of holes, the yellow poster: < "underground_city"> underground city. We turn. The cows for the road move pacifically.

We feel to beat on the car window of the Julia: a child with a "bambolina" in hand is. arrive an other from the other side of the car of it. Still one. "Bambolina, "bambolina"." We proceed slowly because they don't stand out from the auto. We enter a courtyard where are parked for agree to the entrance of the underground city.

We open the back door for take the camera. The tongs color for stretch the cloths "debbono" seem them very interesting. Around the courtyard a tall railing above to a "muretto": suddenly behind to the enclosure a tide of children that leans out toward of us: "Bambolina, "madam", "bambolina"."

We try to do to understand them that we purchase the exit it. But begin the throwing of the "bamboline".

They throw us it and we of a pull are with the full hands. I/they am made from them, with a skeleton formed from two flat pieces of wood that they stick out under, covered from the pants of the Turkish women and the skirt above, of colored cloth, even "sfrangiata". A big breast and in arm two or three children.

On the head different solutions, all very beautiful: a plume of tulle, a cone of sweater.

They from the sides of the body depart of the threads that unite under the volume of the child, to the center. Or a lock to simulate the hair. The "faccine" are fascinating; with the "biro" or I/they with the "pennarello" have traced the enormous eyes, thoughtful, the nostrils point to, a dwarfish mouth to triangle with the vertex to the "ingiù".

A mole in the middle of the front.

The applications multiply; to tall voice by now: a crescendo. More beautiful, the my is more beautiful, the my."

The males have the trimmed head, the hair that stay as soon as increasing. between the female we any is any big, almost women. We are forced to choose: each is different from the other.

They cost 50 TL.

The custodian arrives, that then the manager of the excavations is. speak with the children, calm them a little bit. We deliver him the pennies and he/she/it/you does from through for the payment: he/she/it/you is probable that we would not have succeeded to identify the owners, visa that quarrel rise. Here they ask "bon bon". we have only of the candies to the alpine grasses. Bad. We to strength try to impose us for "distribuirne" a to each.

Each would want it all for oneself.

The custodian tells us to take the sweater: bottom does "freddo____ bamboline"
