Wednesday Sept 8th

The highlight of today was a ballon rode over the region of Cappadocia around Goreme. We were in one of around 50 balloons n the air on a crisp and clear morning. To see the spectacular landscape with the added beauty of the balloons floating in an azure sky was truly unique.

Having returned from that early moring adventure we left for Konya, a long drive to the south west. Konya is the site of ancient Iconium but there were no archeological sites for us to visit.

We did however visit one of the preserved caravanserais where caravans on the silk route would stay overnight in a safe location.
