Cappadocia. The last post, I promise. When in Cappadocia, one should try to fly with a balloon, it will be a once-in-a-life-experience and though short, it was great. Sadly, our bus arrived slightly late, leaving me little time to photograph the preparations, but probably, I was the only one worried about this.

The amount of balloons is amazing, and in each balloon fit up to 15-20 people, so it is quite an organization to get the right people in the right balloon in the right time. Obviously, the locals are used to this as all went rather smoothly.

The preparations are hectic and noisy, but great to see as slowly all balloons are getting shape. Within half an hour, all is ready and we’re ready to board and then, off we go.

I must admit, the moment the captain turns down the gas, and the noise disappears, the moment you are floating, is amazing. It is great. Now I understand why people wants to be a bird and fly. With airplanes this feeling I never had, but, this day the experience was wonderful.
