Hot air ballooning

It's difficult to talk about favourites when you have been exploring incredible countries for over 5 months, but without a doubt, hot air ballooning in Cappadocia has been a major highlight of our trip. It all started on a Friday morning before the sun rose - we were up before 6am (how rude! I thought this was a holiday?!) and waited, without much hope, staring at the fog and snow surrounding us. Our pilot, Suat, remained positive and before we knew it the skies had cleared and they were preparing for take-off!

    And I won't mention to Jono that he just missed his prime opportunity to propose and maybe even elope in that magical setting......
