Pagi ini sekali lagi kami tidak mahu melepaskan peluang untuk melihat pertunjukan belon udara panas di bumi indah Cappadocia. Suatu suasana yang sangat 'rare' setiap kali melihatnya ...well at least to me.
Selesai 'rutin' pagi kami (...smiling as I am typing this) kami segera bergegas pergi sarapan. Sambil bersarapan pagi, saya sempat berborak dengan Kak Mah dan Shimah...well dipendekkan cerita...Kak Mah dan Shimah decided untuk mencari carpet sebagai cenderahati dan sebagai koleksi dekor tambahan kelak pulang ke Malaysia. Nice ok!!??
Proses mencari carpet idaman Kak Mah dan Shimah tidaklah mengambil masa yang lama kerana kami terus menuju ke kedai carpet sememangnya murah dan sangat berkualiti. Kak Mah sempat membeli beberapa sarung bantal yang sangat menarik dan berbaloi serta tinggi kualitinya. Hari ini dan hari-hari berikutnya kami habiskan dengan immerse ourselves with local scene and cultures....lebih kurang macam jalan-jalan santai je....Sempat juga tangan ni menyambar cenderahati murah-murah. Bukan apa, too hard to resist the temptation of beautiful goods (cheap too :)) in Cappadocia. You will believe me if you manage to come here. I promise!!
Sebelah malamnya, we decided to try the local Italian cum Turkish restaurant. We managed to order a few delicacies off from the menus. While waiting for our dinner to be prepared, we decided to change the table due to the nearby customer that brought along their 'overly friendly' dog that makes us extremely uncomfortable.
Alas, our dinner came in and it was alright on the taste but the ambience was to die for. Period!!. We then went back to our 'resting place' for tomorrow's 'routine' plus that last minute shopping..Huhu!!
Kak Mah semakin mahir dalam aktiviti' 'poke that balloon'
...and Shimah too...

My Favourite (as in the accent of Gary Oldman as Zorg in The Fifth Element)
Kak Mah's last minutes shoppping...salute!!?
Nah...makin ke dalam..terperosok..hampir ngesot...ni yang dikatakan Queen Of Haggling. Bak pepatah Turkey ..di mana ada Kak Mah di situ ada keresahan tokey kedai karpet Turkey...
Shimah tersenyum approval atau nak join Kak Mah...
Too hard to resist memoribilia..
Selepas membeli-belah....jom pump masuk vitamin buah-buahan ke dalam sistem imun dulu..
Kak Mah mana? Waktu ni Kak Mah pergi ladies'. Situasi di atas menunjukkan suasana menunggu makan malam disediakan. Sejuk pulak malam ni.
Sila-sila.....
Ladies...let's get into formation and I say slay that chickens...Beyonce style...Huhu
HARI TERAKHIR DI CAPPADOCIA (6TH DAY)
Pagi ini bersamaan 11 September 2018 merupakan hari yang berbaur rasa dihati. Hari ini merupakan hari terakhir kami di Cappadocia sebelum berangkat ke Istanbul dan bermalam di sana dan berlepas ke Norway keesokkan harinya.
Personally I felt a bit melancholy of leaving Cappadocia unbeknownst of ever to return here again. This very morning too I had this urge to again see my favourite fireflies via the very window on my room..silently...wishing to see them again.
That morning.... Shimah and I went for our final stroll along the Cappadocia town. Kak Mah decided not to join in as she was pretty occupied in reorganizing her 'merchant's goods' so that it fitted perfectly inside her luggage.
Shimah and I went for some milkshakes over a local coffee shop and the place was nice plus the great internal ambiance. The barista was friendly and even suggested to us certain flava of the milkshakes.
After handed over the milkshakes, he was so surprised to see that I carried a very small camera and started asking questions about it but then I had to explain to him that it was a GoPro. Hahahah...poor thing.
My valentine...
Gonna miss you guys....
Ladies of the moment taking it all for the last time.

Yummy
Curious Buddy...
Perfect snacking before leaving...
Sebelum berangkat ke Istanbul...Kak Mah join makan tengah hari di pekan Cappadocia. It was delicious and fulfilling. Alhamdulillah
Delicious
The fact that we needed to check out from our hotel...we spent our time by having lunch and perform our prayer.

While waiting for Kak Mah and Shimah done with their prayer....some local tourist came to me and struck conversations. It was very engaging and was all I ever needed on my last day here.
The turkish uncle offered me a very engaging conversation and an orange. Next beside me is his lovely wife. Love them to bits. Soon after that I introduced them to Kak Mah and Shimah.
Kak Mah sempat berposing sakan di taman Cappadocia bagaikan Mawar kembang dipuja....
Peta Gerome tersedia di taman Cappadocia
Lewat tengah hari kami mula berangkat ke lapangan terbang berdekatan dengan menaiki shuttle bas yang telah ditempah terlebih dahulu di Malaysia.
Alhamdulillah selamat menaiki kapal terbang menuju Istanbul. Kak Mah ilmiah sangat tu.
Setibanya di lapangan terbang di Istanbul, kami menunggu untuk luggages yang di daftar masuk sebelum ini.
Malam ni kami akan transit di Istanbul dan tidur di hotel berdekatan sebelum meneruskan perjalanan keesokkan paginya ke Norway.
Selagi boleh. Lapar dan hampir tak keruan, kami sempat pesan makanan di hotel tempat kami menginap.
Sampai di sini sahaja...hari dah semakin malam, Mr. Yourstruly nak tidur dahulu. Esok kami akan meneruskan perjalanan ke Norway...jom?
