Description
The beginning of a day of adventure drifting in a hot air balloon over the Meskendir Valley in Cappadocia, Turkey. You can almost see the excitement in the air as many balloons begin the journey.
There are 20 passengers in our basket plus our balloon pilot. He assures us as we quickly skim over a grassy hill that he's the best flyer in Cappadocia.
There's a whisper of doubt though when we fly towards some limestone cliffs and instead of heading up, Our pilot hovers us near the ground right next to a jagged rock face for about 10 minutes. When your life is in the hands of a balloon, sharp edges are not something you want to see.
