Spent a few days in Istanbul. Hadn't planned to but flights to Vietnam were difficult to come by at a reasonable price so necessitated a stay here before I could get a flight with Turmenistan Airlines. This appears to be the only airline not flying over the Middle East - via Ashgabat - Turkmenistan's capital.
Stayed at Cheers Lighthouse Hostel where I had stayed previously. There was an eclectic number collection of people staying here including a couple of lads from Iran, Lebanon as well as other guys from Kazakhstan and elsewhere in Central Asia.
Decided to pop to Cappadocia to see if I could get a hot air balloon ride over the area - when I had been here two years ago, it had been too windy. Hopefully not this time.
