Welcome to Goreme...

land of epic balloon rides and fairy chimneys...

Another 4am start, another crazy good experience.










 

Other highlights of Goreme were the cave house that we stayed in and the views from breakfast each morning,




and a long, hot trek through Pigeon Valley complete with tortoise sighting, random tea spot stop where I won a prize for answering who the first president of Turkey was* and various action shots of me showing Nix how it's done.







*little did he know that the reason I know who the first president of Turkey was is because we'd like to own a Turkish breed of cat one day named Mustafa Atatürk.
