Cappadocia Tour

8 February

2nd day at Cappadocia.

Today we have a chance to ride the hot air ballon which is famous in Cappadocia.

buttttt.....

The fee ticket was so expensive we thought we'll just look upon the sky and see it flies.

Instead we went for a paid-tour around Gerome

This is the first ever we broke our oath as a backpackers-getting a tour guide.

Yeah we've been in 3 different countries without any paid-help

but now.we need help?

Rationally, in Cappadocia you will really need a tour guide to take you around and so on.

We went to see some wonderful chimney view, Pigeon Valley, went hiking down the Ihlara Valley,

Visiting ancient church, crawling inside the underground city and more.

And we also met some friends from Japan, Korea, China, United States and more.

But Manabo from Japan will be the one to remember.

We start at morning and finished around 6pm.

Our hotel which where we stay-The Flinstone hotel care enough to buy us ticket back to Istanbul.

It was quite difficult to decide to go back to Istanbul as some of us still wants to go adventure

around Antalya-Izmer-Pammukale...but we had to listen to what our leader said rght?

and it's mostly about our ticket back to Malaysia (we still dont have one)

So, as the sun set we took our 11hour journey back to Istanbul.

and we dont regret it.

Quadbiking across Cappadocia

Cappadocia.

Travelling to Cappadocia via bus has a great sight view.

It was like travelling besides a grand canyon only it was full with snow.

It was a wonderful view.

What makes it pain only because we have to stay in the bus for about 11hour for the whole journey from Bursa.

We arrived at Sehir approximately at 8.30 a.m.

From there we need to find another bus to Nevsehir.

We arrived safely there at about 12.00 p.m.

We got 2 task now.

1 important and another one for travel purpose.

The important one was to call the embassy of Malaysia at Turkey to inform about our presence in the country.

"Hello Embassy!"

Mr. Shahruddin ask for our name and Passport number so we could get a flight ticket to Malaysia.

The next task was sight-seeing at Gerome.

After a few walk and photo-capturing,

We decided to take a Quadbike tour (ATV).

And it was AWESOME!

We went uphill, downhill, through the muds, and of course snow.

Owh, it was a great experience.

Whoever wants to go to Cappadocia must not miss this experience!

and I mean it.

We went Quad-biking from 4p.m till almost 6.30 p.m a little more hour from the expected time.

and it was worth it.

Then, we took a little luxury dinner at My House Cafe.

And now at night.

Everyone seems tired.

And maybe not going out because it's freezing cold outside.

Some of went playing pool, some go to sleep, and some went surfing.

Okay it's all for today.

See ya tomorrow.
