Up, up and up! I’m a little boy again, running around Cappadocia’s fairytale landscape with balloons suspended mid air all around me. Like colourful bubbles floating in a gravity-less dreamscape, it is all very very surreal. This was yesterday, my second morning of balloon watching.

Cappadocia, Dude
Blog: 12FOOT3 - 9 January 2010
It’s not often that party banter will bring you half way around the world. Before we left on our trip, we met a California surfer at a party, and after finding out he had been to Turkey several times, we asked the obvious question: “What we shouldn’t miss in Turkey?” His answer: “Cappadocia, dude.” Even with this [...]

Cappadocia from above and underground
Blog: nateniale { reflections on my travels and everything else I love } - 29 December 2009
We started the day cold and early for a hot-air balloon ride. We were initially reluctant to spend the exorbitant amount of money for the ride.

After reading many great reviews, I was looking forward to it.

After an hour or so, we finally ended up in a quaint little bed and breakfast managed by an extremely nice Turkish man. We believed that he converted his home into this bed and breakfast.
