Cappadocia
Our next stop after Istanbul was Cappadocia. One theory about the name is that it comes from the Old Persian for Land of the Beautiful Horses. The region is composed of very striking landscapes and is noted for its fairy chimneys. We stayed in Goreme in a lovely cave hotel. They weren't full up when we were there, so I got a large double room all to myself.

On one of our mornings, we got up at dawn and rattled off into the open spaces to take a balloon ride. My first ever and it was gorgeous! Its remarkable how still it is up there.
