Balloons over Goreme

 Just on dawn the hot air balloons begin their ascent into the clear sky over Goreme. We didn't take a ride as we had just arrived the night before and with a 6 hour time difference......well jetlag is not a nice companion at the best of times!

But we enjoyed watching from our panoramic balcony, as slowly the sunlight hit the tops of the chimneys. An occasional hiss of gas was heard in the still morning air.
