Lots has happened since the last blog...we have been through Austria, Serbia, Bulgaria and are just about to leave Turkey to head into Iran. Turkey has been amazing, made me feel like the trip has really begun! Firstly we headed for 3 days to Istanbul. That place is amazing!!! We saw the Blue Mosque, Grand Bazaar (where all the haggling and bartering happens), the Eye of Sofia and a boat cruise along the Bosphorus Sea. Here we could see Asia for the first tıme whist standing in Europe. After that we headed to Goreme for some hot air balooning wıth the sunrıse and abseiling down a 50m rock face.....which was absolutely terrifying!!!! I was so so so scared but plucked up the courage and threw myself over the edge!!! The first step over the edge was the hardest and then I really enjoyed it :-) Hot air balloning though was truly amazing, the Cappadocian landscape is crazy! We got to stay overnight in the caves which apparantly were fairy chimneys...kinda cool! Will try and get some more pıcs posted soon so you can see! The next couple of weeks are the most intriguing and perhaps the scariest part off the trip, Iran and Pakistan. But the locals in Turkey are extremely friendly and have advised us that it is a beautiful country and that the people there are very very nice!
