Silver Anniversary Balloon Ride

Two of us while taking the balloon ride

It’s not her dreams, nor mine to take this balloon ride. We didn’t even intend to when we planned our holiday to Cappadocia.

But today it’s our #SilverWedding #Anniversary. So we thought of marking it with something special. Something memorable (as if being in Cappadocia is not enough 😅)

Yes, it’s rather expensive. But watching hundreds of colorful balloons, the stunning sunrise while smoothly flew above Cappadocia magical landscape, it’s all worth it.

It has ups and downs, scary and pleasant moments. But all in all, we had lovely time. Exactly as the 25 years I spent with love of my life.

Happy 25th Anniversary darling. Let’s ride for another 25 and more years. Insya Allah.

Here are the full story and other pictures from the memorable trip today:

We were picked up in the hotel at 05.30 am. After picked up another guests in hotel near Goreme, we directly went to the take off site.

We arrived around 06.00 am. It was still dark. But the place was lit because of the fire producing hot air which were being pumped into the balloons.

We arrived before 6am. It’s still dark

There were 120+ balloons flying today. And each balloons has its cars of entourage, as shown lines up beneath them. Following the moves.
