Re: Historic Turkey (and 5 airports!), finishing in Muscat,Oman. QF, QR and WY J, TK
End of a great trip ... and something I hadn't experienced before. The guy landed the balloon basket right on the trailer! Turkish sparkling wine, chocolate strawberries and cake afterwards, before being taken back to hour hotels by 8am.
Quick shower then it was ready for pick-up by a tour I was doing of the area. Only 6 of us on the tour, which was a good manageable number.
First stop was one of the parks displaying the 'fairy chimneys' - the eroded rock formations that are a signature of the area. On the left - sheetake mushrooms! (That's a deliberate mis-spel as AFF thinks I'm being rude and put a bunch of *** there )
Amazingly delicately balanced formations:
In another area, you get the whirling dervishes.
