As I looked back at my holidays, I am thankful for all my trips. I never expected to travel to Turkey, even more to sit in the hot air balloon in Cappadocia. Yet I did that and indeed it has been a wonderful experience, one which will forever be in my memories.I enjoy my holidays and I hope I have the chance to travel with my love one around the world, soaking in the sights,the food, the fun and the scenery.
The special feeling of my Turkey trip has to be being with the group on this trip. We were all like family - the deep special bonding.
At 4am we awoke and we departed at 5am for our hot air balloon expedition on 23 November 2010. Decked in 4 layers, I looked like a mini pink snowgal. Very warm and comfortable. We reached the sight at 520pm. Some snacks for the early birds.
Preparing for the hot air balloon take off. Watch the flames.
A colourful hotair balloon - we were hopping to sit in this hotair balloon. Ours was a yellow one.
Setting offMany of my friends remarked that I was very brave to sit in the hot air balloon. Actually there is no fear at all and it is safe. That day the weather was nice and the ride was smooth. I guess I did not have time to have any fear as I was busy taking photos and soaking into the moment. Cappadocia is indeed beautiful. Not forgetting each of us paid US190 to sit in the hot air balloon. This is definitely the highlight of trip
Such a lovely view
Sunrise - a view from our hotair balloon
Pat & Xiuling - don't we look warm :)
We flew over the unique rock formation at Cappadocia, admiring the beautiful fairy chimneys from the air.

Up Up and Away
So near yet so far
A series of hotair balloons
Love such shots - so peaceful
Floating silently above the Cappdocian landscape dotted with villages, vineyards and fruit orchards for 1 hour.
We landed safely - smooth landing and a lovely morning.
Yeah we made it - our hotair balloons certificates - Xiuling, Cheryl, Pat and Janice.
