Guest Posted August 27, 2023 #226 Share Posted August 27, 2023 August 8! I had set the alarm for sunrise which was to be 6:15 today, but at 5:30 we were quickly awakened by what sounded like drilling right outside our window. I reached back and pulled the curtain aside, blinking in surprise. A hot air balloon was right outside and the noise I had heard was the pilot pulling on the fire nozzles. We quickly threw some clothes on and ran out the door. IMG_1258.mov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 27, 2023 #228 Share Posted August 27, 2023 What did we do next? We went back to sleep. LOL. We knew we needed a day of relaxing (because we had a busy few days ahead!) We eventually got up and followed the sound of our grumbling stomachs to lunch in town. I just loved how the exterior areas of our hotel were decorated I knew where i wanted to eat our final lunch in cappadocia. sites along the way: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 27, 2023 #231 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Our bellies once again full, we headed back to the hotel. Time to take advantage of that beautiful pool! The water was COLD. I don’t know how they kept it so cold in that heat, but it was wonderful. I don’t remember how much I’ve talked about this, but we rarely came across other Americans while in Turkey. Today, we’d sit at the pool, listening to all of the different dialects around us: Russian, Turkish, and Spanish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 27, 2023 #232 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Nate had bought this linen shirt in town. I want to say it was about $20USD. I just love it on him and now he has a memento of the trip. I was so sunburnt but not painfully so. I wanted to eat at the rooftop terrace restaurant, Seten, for our final night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 27, 2023 #233 Share Posted August 27, 2023 dinner was amazing! The view, the food, the company. Nate changed it up and got their local gnocchi! video_1_a6999b5f0a9d4401adbd5e251106eb61.mov I got the pumpkin dessert and Nate the rice pudding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Ozark_Kid Posted August 28, 2023 #245 Share Posted August 28, 2023 @singinalot That had to be so cool to wake up to those air balloons! I love the pics and videos of them. A friend of mine has an air balloon. It's fun to be able to fly in one rather than just go up and down. For a new cave woman you are doing a great job! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason, one of my first thoughts was that it would make a great chase scene in a James Bond or Jason Bourne movie. Agree 💯 also Star Wars… 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d say the 2021 Greek island hopping trip is a close second, but this trip still takes first. We found the menus to all be pretty much the same wherever we went. chicken beef or lamb and some type of vegetarian dish. I tend to stay away from lamb so it really limited the options 🤣 23 hours ago, jmh2006 said: @singinalot Crystal today's pictures you posted of the hot air balloons took my breath away!
