Cappadocia, Turkey|The Paradise of Hot Air Balloons

➡️Day Two - Cappadocia Flight: Turkish Airlines (via Istanbul) Hotel: Mithra Cave Hotel Pickup: Booked through Trip.com, Mercedes van Itinerary: Hot Air Balloon 🎈 & ATV 🚜 🔵Key point: Booked through Trip.com (since Butterfly & Royal were fully booked, Trip.com arranged another company whose name I don’t remember~ The flight was very safe~ If you can’t book the two well-known companies, don’t give up on this activity~ The professionalism of other companies is also reliable) Under the twinkling stars, just slightly revealing its face, the place that gives me goosebumps is only Cappadocia~ Arriving at night, the whole town of Göreme is quiet and exudes a mysterious atmosphere. The uneven karst landscape makes it impossible to predict what surprises lie ahead. The driver of the pickup slowly drove the car up the stone road to a higher place. Since we had to get up at 3 a.m. the next day, we went to bed early, satisfied, accompanied by the cool mountain breeze of May~ ➡️Day Three - Cappadocia When God created Cappadocia, He gave people a way to ride hot air balloons and experience the unique shock from a divine perspective in the sky~ At 5 a.m., the hot air balloons slowly rose from the horizon with roaring flames~ Then, in an unnoticeable moment, the sunrise dyed the sky full of colorful balloons red. The scattered balloons floated in a sky framed as if by a picture frame, flying with the wind~ At that moment, I couldn’t help but feel how lucky I am in this life to share this soul-stirring scene with my best friends~ After landing, the pilot opened champagne to celebrate and gave each of us a flight certificate, which felt very ceremonial~ I had heard before that the filming location for Star Wars was chosen in Cappadocia. Only after this flight did I deeply realize that only the natural wonders created here can support such a blockbuster backdrop~ After finishing the flight at 9 a.m., we decided to walk around the town~ The UV rays were very strong, and having already been sunburned, I quietly put on a mask. Wherever I went, people looked at me as if I were an alien. This small town carries an earthy exotic charm. The architectural style can be described as all-natural, and the carpets hanging on the walls add just the right touch of color to the place~ Unable to withstand the scorching sun, we obediently returned to the hotel to rest~ Waiting for the afternoon ATV tour~ There’s a phrase that once moved me: “I can stand behind you, like a shadow chasing the light in a sleepwalk.” Imagining driving a dune buggy together under the sunset, racing across the sand~ However, reality and imagination differ by more than a little~ Throughout the trip, all we felt was sand, shaking, hunger, sunburn, and the cold after sunset~ If you must try this outdoor activity once, wearing enough clothes, applying sunscreen, and filling your stomach are necessary before departure. ✨To be Continued…
