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.
