Turkey - cappadocia
We headed out before sunrise to go hot air ballooning over the incredible Cappadocia landscape.
Being knighted our hot air balooning medals
aalllright!
back at the cave hotel. We had a little tunnel that lead out to a viewing room.
Pigeon valley...it's just as the name suggests, pigeons everywhere!
hike through the red & rose valleys
way up in the mountains we stumbled upon this lovely cave home/cafe
this lovely man made us some fresh pomegranate juice in his kitchen
going through the Derinkuyu underground city - At 60 m deep, it is large enough to have sheltered approximately 20,000 people together with their livestock and food stores.
Sitting in a wine trough. Wine was quite a priority down there judging by how many of these there were.
dinner still on fire and being cracked open with a little hammer.
This was one of our favourite drinks in turkey- Salep- it's a powder from orchids that is delicious when mixed with warm milk.
Claypot with chicken stew inside. I loved these. It was so satisfying cracking open the crispy bread to get to the stew.
