Well that balloon flight would have been amazing had the weather cooperated. But I'm glad that they put safety first - you'd hate to be the person that came back with a harrowing story of a balloon mishap. The Dark Church video was fantastic! I really admire the artists who were able to do so much in what I imagine such an awkward way, and have the patience to finish beautifully instead of rushing at the end to try to just get it finished. The hiking looked lovely, glad you didn't let some mud and scrapes get in your way. All in all a very successful day - you really did need the extra hobbit breakfast!
The pictures are amazing. I would have been more worried about my camera too. What kind of camera did you use. I have a Nikon that is less than a year old but thankfully under warranty as it began acting up on my trip to Scotland. I have a trip to Disney in 5 weeks so I am not sure I have the time to have it sent out to be looked at.
I give you a lot of credit for even attempting the Hot Air Balloon ride.
I will climb a lighthouse to say I did it and to take pictures and then I realize how high I am and panic sets in.
Sorry I haven't been around much lately.........life has been crazy!
There was a recent accident/tragedy in Texas (I think it was) where they launched in conditions that a lot of people said they would never go up in, and they ended up getting caught in power lines. Not a happy ending.
Cappadocia looks like a very stunning place! The formations are incredible, but to have actual dwellings carved into them is over-the-top cool.
So happy your camera and all of your beautiful photos were saved,
but sorry you got banged up a bit.
I'm also bummed for you that your balloon ride didn't work out, but clearly there was a lot to see anyway.
I am destined to go back someday!
Let me know if you do...
The underground cities look really interesting but I am severely claustrophobic. I was stuck in an elevator for 2 hours when I was younger and the effects linger. I think I would have pushed myself for that though.
Loved reading about your trip to Turkey, thanks for taking the time to share so much.
I'm impressed with all the research you did! It really helps you discover things a lot of tourists don't see if you do a little homework. Gorgeous country!
Lol! If only it had introduced itself earlier, it could have had a very cozy night with you.
Such a shame. I wish people would go make their own art, instead of defacing someone else's.
