Dag 6 - Cappadocia

Ek het uiteindelik my alarm gehoor vanoggend en so het ons dag sommer vroeg vroeg begin... Ons was vroegoggend, vir sonsopkoms na die uitkyk punt om na al die lugballonne te kyk. Dit is weereens 'n belewenis wat nie in woorde beskryf kan word nie en voel so of ons in 'n fliek lewe! Ons is toe terug hotel toe, waar ons ontbyt geëet het en toe het die toerbussie ons kom oplaai. Ons het 'n lekker vol toer gehad en baie dinge gesien. Ons eerste stop was by die Imagination Valley, waar daar rotse is wat soos klomp verskillende goed lyk. Die duidelikste een, soos 'n kameel. Van daar was ons na die buitelug museum, wat ook 'n kerk in een van die rotse bevat. Mens mag ongelukkig glad nie foto's van of in die "kerk" neem nie en die ou wat daar werk is rerig baie kwaai! Laat my aan 'n Mafia mannetjie dink! Dit is nogsteeds 'n ongelooflike belewenis, veral om te sien hoe die mense die rotse, wat eintlik meer soos sand is, uitgehol en verander het om in te bly. Volgende was ons Monk Valley toe, waar die Monks gebly het... Ook in die grotte! Damian het in een van die huisies opgeklouter, maar ek het besluit dis vir my veiliger om buite te bly en 'n foto of twee van hom te neem. Die roomysmannetjie was ook vol dinge en grappe en net voor ons weggeloop het, het hy my linkerhand gegryp en vir my 'n cone as ring opgesit... Ons is toe na die Onyx en Souvenir winkel toe. Daar het hulle ons gewys hoe hulle Onyx sny en polish, nogal interessant! Hulle het ook klomp verskillende juwele daar. Ons het toe gou gestop vir middagete, ook in 'n grot, wat baie lekker koel was. Ons is toe na die Pottery plek toe, waar hulle ons gewys het hoe hulle al die verskillende borde en bakkies en so uit die klei uit maak. Baie indrukwekkend! Ons het die toer afgesluit by die Panoramic uitkyk punt, waar mens kon foto's neem. Dit was 'n baie lekker dag, maar vrek warm, aangesien die bussie se aircon nie gewerk het nie en dit mens nogals kan uitbrand. Na ons by die hotel afgelaai is, het ons gou gaan aandete eet en is ons nou in die bed, want moreoggend is 'n BAIE vroeë oggend!
Al ons groete en liefde!♡

I finally heard my alarm this morning and with that our day started nice and early... We woke up early, for sunrise and went to the viewing point to go and see the hot air balloons. It's really something one cannot explain in words and it felt like we were living in a movie! We then went back to the hotel, had some breakfast and then the tourbus came to pick us up. We had a nice and full tour and saw a lot of different things. Our first stop was at Imagination Valley, were the boulders looks like a lot of different things. The most significant one, like a camel. From there we went to the Outdoor Museum, which also contains a church in one of the boulders. Unfortunately one is not allowed to take any photos of the church or inside of the church. The guy working there was very strict and makes me think of someone in the Mafia. It's quite an experience to see how the people changed these boulders, which is more like sand, into a living space. Next we went to the Monk Valley, were the Monks used to live, also in caves/boulders. Damian climbed into one of the houses, but I decided it's safer for me to stay outside and take a photo or two. The ice cream guy was full of jokes and just before we left, he grabbed my hand and put a cone ring on it... We then went to the Onyx and Souvenir shop. There they showed us how they cut and polish the Onyx, quite interesting! They also sell a lot of jewellery there. We quickly stopped for lunch after that, that was also in a cave. We then went to the Pottery place, where they showed us how they make all the plates, bowls and so out of clay. Very impressive! We ended of the tour at the Panoramic View, where one could take photos. It was a very nice day, but extremely hot, seeing that the aircon of the bus didn't work... After they dropped us at the hotel, we quickly went for dinner and then hopped into bed, as we have a VERY early morning tomorrow!
