15/5/23- first day in Cappadocia, Nevsehir

Expenses
Hot Air Balloon Trip- 110 euro per pax
We woke up damn early in the morning at 3.30am, which means I only had 3 hours sleep the night before.

We went on to the Hot air Balloon trip last to get the edge position so that we can take good photos.

The hot air balloon raised at 5a.m. and it landed after 2 hours at 6.45 a.m.
It was chilling cold.
It was beautiful and amazing to have the experience on the hot air balloon, looking at balloon that fit in 18 people up to 2000 feet.
I don't really felt scared although there were accident of 2 people dying last time.
I felt more excited about it. 

The view was breathtaking...

Thanks to Montgofier who invent the hot air balloon.

We saw how the envelope was being expanded by the hot gas( propane).. The pilots are qualified with license... Look so professional...

After we landed, we were given cert and have small session of wine tasting..

After that, we went back to the Emre stone house to chill a bit...

We departed to the hostel and rested till 9.40 a.m. and went on the Green Tour that included Panorama Goreme, Pigeon Valley, Selime monastery, Ihlara Valley, Delikuyu Underground and Onyx Jewellery Factory...

Goreme that located among the "fairy chimney" rock formation 

Pigeon Valley is located between Uchisar and the Goreme.

Ihlara Valley special in the way day the whole canyon is honeycomb with rock cut underground dwellings.
 Then we stayed in Onyx jewellery factory for quite some time. I love the torquoise eing but it wad quite expensive. 

Delikuyu is the underground that can accomodate up to 20,000 people and it extended up to 60m.

15/6/20 last day in London

Today was the last day in London. We spent the morning in the Camden Lock Market. I love it so much. 

There are 3 different sections, which are the market hall, West yard and east yard. According to my friend, they told me it used to be a stable for horse and now it is a market selling all kind of food and souvenirs. 

Happy moment passed so fast. I felt so reluctant to leave but still I have to..

Our bus waited at Old Street Station at 6.m. to get to the airport at 7.m.. The flight to Edinburgh took 1hour so we arrived when it was 1p.m. in Edinburg. The boss was friendly to us. However, we were a bit upset by the news that the wifi is limited for 2 hours per person for 2nights stay and only to one device.

We were directed to the room with alphabet G and my bed named Ginger and Jay's one was goofball. 

After checked in the princes backpack hostel, we straight away departed to the Edinburgh castle. 

We decided not to use any public transport for 3 days so we can have a better view of the city. The buildings have its antique and traditional style.

Then, we went for morning shopping along the Prince Street. There are lot of branded stuffs here, H&M, ""

I bought my sister a Scotland's hoddie.

We departed at 12p.m. and since walked there from our hostel. It took us 1hour 30 minutes to the top and we spent an hour on the top of the mountain. The wind was so strong that I felt like it can blow me off anytime. Standing on the top of it, I felt like I am conquering the world. The scenery is definitely breathtaking! 

On the way back, the patches of grass were dancing like dancers, welcoming us with its open hands, waving from sides to sides.

At about 4p.m. , we get back to our hostel, charging our phone and online for a while.

Then, we had our luner in SNAX again. This time I ordered a big veggie burger with chips. I felt so full that I didn't actually eat any of it. Except some chips and I decided to have it for tomorrow's  breakfast.

Our next destination was the forth bridge. It took 30 minutes train from Waverly Bridge to " Dalmeny". We departed at 6p.m. and arrives there at 6.30 p.m. It is a bridge that linked Edinburg and Inverkething. A lot of people died during the construction of it. Approximately 7 people per column. The view from the North Queensferry will give a better view of it. However, we didn't get to the other side though.

Regret is definitely there as we didnt make it to the North and only able to take a few in the South but still, the view is good enough to impress me. Believe me, if you demand more, visit the Golden Bridge in U.S. I have seen it once and I always feel like going back again!

I believe every single architecture have a story behind it and I appreciate it all! 

Also, we walked all the way to the beach, beneath the bridge, where Jay Chow took his wedding photos!

We spent 3 hours there and took 9.30p.m. train back to hostel. 

The day was long and I was damn tired. After taking shower, I slept, still listening to " All of Me" by Jonn Legend....
