Helen's Silk Road
Arrived as the rain stopped after about 8 hours to 3 nights of cold clear weather. Cappadocia is better than I expected. Amazing landscape a result of volcanic ash filling a lake 200 million yrs ago and then covered with hard layer if basalt from another eruption. Great history from being on the cross roads of migrating peoples and invaders. I got brave and went up in a hot air balloon. There were 28 passengers in each but only about 40 up (sometimes 200! Like a balloon fest everyday!). But that was enough for me to keep my eye on incase they did the wrong thing! Pilot was great and took us up n down a few times, photo opportunities, then landed exactly on the trailer. A great few days.
