5/11/2018 CAPPADOCIA
This is the day where we spent a pile of our savings to be on an air balloon. The view, experience were collectively remarkable, and I hope that it'll stay in my small mind. We departed to the hot air balloon site at 0615 right after Subh prayer at the hotel's rooftop.
I am glad to have visited Cappadocia in a season where the number of tourists is not of a peak one. Alhamdulillah. Know that, after 2 days lingering around Old Cappadocia, we've met almost everyone in the old city. And they can even remember us!
We ascended at 0650 with Abang taking a position towards the centre of the basket as she's not fond of height. And we've landed somewhere safe at 0720 for a brief certificate giving ceremony ahah. (naik mahai2 dapat sijil ja lol). Then, we had our breakfast at the hotel's room, with the huge roti & proceeded with check out process.
The best part of Cappadocia is when we've got to be on Red Tour on ATVs. Woohoo. I'd say racing would be a bliss if every car on earth are as stable as ATV & that it is not covered with windows or car doors, so just I can see where my car is hitting. After performing solat, unfortunately we had to catch a bus to Istanbul ,leaving such a beautiful city behind. If I'd ever come ever again, I'll definitely go to Cappadocia. The bus leaves at 2100 to our final destination in Turkey.

Alhamdulillah, we'd finally arrived at the most anticipated state in Turkiye at 830 am. We took the M1 metro to Aksaray, and the tram to Sultanahmet station which was just 5 minutes walk away from our stay. Alhamdulillah too, our host was kind enough to allow us an early check in at 1030. After settling down, we then went for a walk in Taksim , stopped by Watsons and had our lunch there. Nearing Maghrib, we queued to enter Galata Tower but due to the high fare, we decided not to. Before the sun sets we went to watch the beauty of Marmara Sea and the view of Hagia Sofya at night. We called it a day early because of the exhaustion.

Note that I started to feel the examination vibes. There was less pictures captured & we were not that stable anymore haha. No, I was just kidding. We still enjoyed the moment but in a wary state of mind. We planned to perform Subh prayer at Hagia Sofya but only woke to the already bright sky huhu. We performed Zuhr prayer in the Blue Mosque where we met another group of USM-KLE (-ians?) The day was filled with shopping session at Grand Bazaar from 1430 to 1830. Abang was the only one who bought nothing aiyoyo. We was on a hunt for Nutella but to no avail. Sad lyfe. At 1830 we went on a cruise and were able to be in between Asian & European side of Turkiye!!!! We went back to hotel by 2045.

This day was quite an emotional one. Maybe due to the fact that the holiday has reaching its end and all those little factors. Anyhow, we went to Turkish & Islamic Art Muze and met a foreigner family too who were excited that we were able to read all those Quran transcripts hehe. Subhanallah. Alhamdulillah. In the evening, we went to Eyyub Camii for solat, shopping in the mini-market-of-which-is-too-far-and-we-only-bought-drinks-after-walking-that-long-we-were-tired.We then went to take our luggage in the hotel, bid our goodbye to Istanbul and hopped on a luxurious limo to the airport.
