Cappadocia Hotair Balloon
#summerfest Taking a hot air balloon ride over Cappadocia is an experience that defies description – it's a journey into a realm of magic and wonder that stays etched in your memory forever. The moment the balloon gently lifts off the ground, you're transported into a surreal world where the earth below seems to shrink away, and you're suspended in a tapestry of colors and shapes.
The sight of 150 other hot air balloons rising simultaneously creates a spectacle that's nothing short of breathtaking. It's as if the sky itself comes alive with a ballet of vibrant colors and graceful movements. The sense of camaraderie among the balloons adds to the enchantment, making you feel like a part of something truly extraordinary.
As the sun begins its ascent, the world around you transforms. The soft hues of dawn cast a mesmerizing glow over the otherworldly landscapes of Cappadocia, painting the rugged terrain and ancient rock formations with a palette of gold and rose. Witnessing the sunrise from such a vantage point is a privilege that touches the soul, reminding you of the sheer beauty and wonder that exists in our world.
For many, a hot air balloon ride over Cappadocia ranks among the top highlights of a lifetime. The mixture of awe and exhilaration, coupled with the surreal surroundings, creates a sensory overload that leaves an indelible mark on your heart. Even if you have a fear of heights, like I did, the sheer magnitude of the experience overwhelms any apprehensions. The sense of freedom and wonder that comes with being suspended in the sky erases all doubts, and you find yourself embracing the moment with an open heart.
In retrospect, my hot air balloon ride over Cappadocia is a memory I hold dear – a memory that embodies the essence of adventure, beauty, and overcoming personal boundaries. It's an experience I wouldn't trade for the world, and one that I would readily embark upon again without hesitation. If you're seeking a journey that transcends the ordinary and transports you into a realm of pure enchantment, a hot air balloon ride over Cappadocia is an absolute must.

Niagara Carnival and Falls
#summerfest
On the Canada side of Niagara they have a carnival style amusement park. They have arcade games, rollercoaster, a giant ferris wheel, putt-putt golf, restaurants, gift shops, and hardrock cafe.
We first stopped at the Journey behind the falls to get up close to the waterfall. There are three different viewpoints to see the fall. We went at least 200m into the fall. You also get wet too.
Then we headed to the carnival amusement area. We mostly shopped and ate food. It got quite busy in the evening. I was happy when I got my funnel cake.
