Travel Day to Zagreb!

ByTravelling Minion November 13, 2018 0 Comments
Its a travel day! We are leaving Turkey today and making our way to Zagreb. We woke up and did some final packing to ensure all of our stuff fit in our bags and newly purchased suitcase. After making sure everything was sorted, we checked out with our host who was nice enough to store our luggage until it was time for us to head to the airport. McDonalds For lunch we decided to visit a McDonalds....

Our last few days in Istanbul

After the day(s) we had yesterday Gimpy and I decided to sleep in before even considering heading out into Istanbul. It was much needed rest and we both ended up sleeping until the late morning. Our Airbnb had facilities for laundry, so that was the first productive task we did. Admira Cafe Once clothes were in the dryer, we headed out into the city. We had scoped out a breakfast place to eat,...

Hot Air Balloons…FINALLY

Hot Air Balloon Redemption With our GAdventures tour through Turkey over, we still had one big regret: We didn't hot air balloon in Cappadocia.

Ballooning in this region was at the very top of our list for...

Upon entering the gate we found ourselves in the most...

Driving to Pamukkale With Kas in our rear view mirror, our next stop would be Pamukkale. I was excited for this stop since next to the hot air balloons, this was something I wanted to see. I'd seen many pictures online about the series of white Infinity pools and I wanted to witness it with my own eyes. We had a drive along the coast before heading inland towards Pamukkale. After a few hours...

Kas

The first order of business for Gimpy and I on our free day was to sleep in. Since we arrived, we hadn't had a proper day to catch up on sleep so this was the day! We were lucky, because when we woke up, it was down pouring quite hard outside, so we dodged a bullet being indoors rather than outdoors during this. Dedikodu After taking our time getting up, we made our way to a coffee place called...
