Chasing a blue dream in Turkey -- Day 8.5

Today I did what I thought I would never do in my life -- Paragliding. Normally, I'm not a daredevil. But this time, since I'm in Turkey and kinda hate my timid feature, I decided to give a shoot. I made it without losing my cool. Ah, almost forgot the most important reason, which is to take a pic from top of the beach.

It's not that scary actually. Only the height is about 1800 meters. Sounds scary. But scenes are awesome. Got fab pics in my camera. maybe next time I'll try sky dive. I guess I'll never get sleep from now on rather than two days before paragliding.

Anyway, hope everything is going well on you all. Pic time!

Chasing a blue dream in Turkey -- Day 7.5

I came to Pamukkale for a one day tour. This should be the plan two days ago. Glad travel agency still have that in Fethiye. But that makes sense coz they need to earn money.

8 hours on the road and 2 hours in Pamukkale. It depends if someone ask me about the worth of it. Here is the pic and you tell me. :)

Chasing a blue dream in Turkey -- Day 6.5

Nothing special today. Took a tour but didn't swim in the beautiful Aegean sea due to the injury on the leg.

Just found out that I'm running out of cash. This is a country requires cash payment. Hope I can be still alive with my 70 Lira cash for 4 days.

Chasing a blue dream in Turkey -- Day 5.5

I arrived at Fethiye this morning and took a 12 islands trip during the day. The sunlight was good. This is the second time I saw the sea is blue like that. Just wanna stay there forever if time can be stopped. Need to get some rest. Too tired these days.

I said I would upload some pics taking from hot air ballon. Here we go.

The view is fantastic during the sunrise period and hundreds of hot air balloons were in the air at the same time. This is the best experience ever.

After that, actually, I've seen all of the area. So just rented a scooter and chill. Also pretty good but hot. It's the first time I know scooters can be driven that fast.

On the night bus to Fethiye, I met a Turkish guy sitting right next to me. He is a student in a university and can speak some English. As his guest, I had two cups of free tea. This let me think actually Turkish people are really hospitable without being related to any money. He taught me Islam especially the life in heaven. Pretty good knowledge.

Today, I arrived at Cappadocia, the middle area of Turkey.

Actually, I didn't get me destination and was called to get off to change another bus. This turned out to be the intention of a travel agency. I bought a ticket from here to the next stop as the assistance of the agency. But when I get on the bus, I found out the mistake on departure date. I thought it was may be a small mistake, however a couple also met some thing weird on their ticket. FUCK YOU ROCK TOWN travel agency! In the end, as the concern about the reputation, the contractor's owner helped me change a new and direct ticket. That the bright side. Wasted more than one hour on the ticket issue. This made me miss the robust information system in UK.

With the bad mood, I took a green tour to walk around the far places of the area. I know I don't like traveling with tour guide. But I can only accept this in an immature transportation system country. In the end, the car was broken , which consumed 2 hours on the road with doing nothing. This also made me miss the sunset period for taking pics. Sigh. What can I say?

Look at the bright side. Met 3 japanese , 3 Korean, 2 Australian during the trip. They are quite nice. Pretty happy meeting them and talking with them. I just love the international environment! I'm gonna miss it two weeks later.

Sorry, there is no pic for today. Tmr I'll arrange myself. Will definitely upload afterwards. Need to do the hot air ballon in the early morning or sunrise. Gotta sleep soon. :)

Chasing a blue dream in Turkey-- Day 2.5

Well, today is pretty hot in Istanbul. I didn't realise this is Sunday and most of the restaurants were closed. Haven't had a decent meal.

I went to another part of istanbul today. It's new, but still quite untidy.its really hard to find a city as modern as big cities in china. Frankfort? I'll find that out in the future.

This afternoon, I went along the coastline of the old part of Istanbul. Aegean is sooo blue. Sitting by the see and felt like sinking in the dark blue world. I got the feeling from a Chinese poet. He wrote like, facing the sea and feeling the spring. It's warm and full of flower.

I'm on the night bus right now. The night bus is shaking so hard. A turkish guy looked like Javier Hernandez siting next to me helps me to find a toilet. Coz the staff on the bus can't speak Really nice guy, but cant speak english. Otherwise I'm gonna talk to him whole night. Google tranlate is the only tool now. Gotta have some rest. Good night everyone!
