Air Show

Tuesday morning I was up sufficiently early to witness the lift-off of the Cappadocian air flotilla. There are perhaps a dozen firms operating out of Goreme that do early morning hot air balloon flights. At one point I counted 33 balloons, but could not picture them all. The small gondolas carry 12, the large ones 20. Flying tour buses. They all launch from the canyons just below our campground. We pondered doing this--it is much more affordable here than in the US or elsewhere--but then the weather closed in, low clouds, and we decided to try it next time.
