Unfortunately,  I can't capture the full effect.  It is magical. They fill the balloons with hot air and the gently and silently rise from the ground. 

Today we visit a caravanserai,

Chookie, that must have been amazing in real life. We are looking at a holidy in Europe this time next year and Turkey is definitely on my list but it may be one of those places we visit once the kids aren't with us.

I wonder which one Ral was in.  It must have been amazing to have been up there, bravo Ral - I would never have the nerve to do that.

Ral loved the flight.  The worst part was getting in and out.   When they land,  they try and land on the balloon trailer.
Off to a spa town tonight.

Those balloons look great - we once did a balloon ride and it was a most peaceful flight - except for the roar of thefurnace when they were 'burning' to heat the gas so that the balloon would go higher.  The landscape looks fabulous.
