Hot Air Ballooning

Up at 4.00 am to go hot air ballooning. Picked up by a bus and taken to a spot near Goreme where about 60 balloons were being prepared for take-off. After coffee and cake we took off in our basket which had 22 passengers plus the pilot.

We have been ballooning before but this was the best trip yet. We soared high over Cappadocia, dropped deep into valleys and drifted into peoples back yards. A glass of champagne and a certificate afterwards. Then delivered back to our hotel in time for breakfast. Cost: 100 euros each.
