Everyone came out to drink and eat desserts on the small street. Every store had blue and white chairs outside, and small orange lights, etc. Foodies can't miss food no matter where they go. In this town, many carts sell mussels, which are wrapped with glutinous rice and are very delicious. Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi also came out at night to experience the night of Alacati.
We ordered a strawberry dessert and the famous Turkish black tea (Turks really like this kind of black tea. They will have a cup of it when waiting for the bus at the bus station, and they all use this small cup). It was great. The nearest beach to Alacati is Ilica Beach. In the afternoon, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo couldn't help but go to see the Aegean Sea.
They came to the minibus station. There were many minibuses to Ilica. It took Nalanshiqi and Yunluo about 10 minutes to get there. Then they passed some hotels and the legendary romantic Aegean Sea appeared. The sea water was blue-green and the sea breeze was so strong that Nalanshiqi and Yunluo were blown away. They ran to the beach to take pictures, but a big wave soaked their skirts.
The romantic atmosphere of the Aegean Sea really permeated Yunluo's whole body. In order to prevent a cold, I quickly bought a large cartoon bath towel at the beach, which came in handy for keeping warm when I went to Kappa later, haha. In Ephesus, the sky here is dazzling blue, and the wind brings the solemn atmosphere of history.
The theater, the library, the Roman columns here all left traces of Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo... Alacati, the sky here is blue, and the wind brings the breath of the Aegean Sea. The winding streets here, the white, light brown, and light yellow walls, the blue and brown windows, and the red and orange roofs.
There are also those flowers that grow freely, climbing on the walls and hanging on the windows. They pour down like waterfalls. All of these are imprinted in the minds of Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo... Ilica, the Aegean Sea here, the sea breeze is blowing, and the sea water changes from transparent to clear blue, light blue, light blue, dark blue, and then merges with the sky...
Bid farewell to Izmir around the Aegean Sea and elope to the moon. After a few days of traveling from Cesme to Izmir Airport to Nevsehir, Nalanshiqi and Yunluo did not arrange any special itinerary today. They just needed to rush to Cappadocia, which has the lunar landscape, in the afternoon. Domestic flights in Turkey require a transfer in Istanbul between almost all cities.
Or take a night bus. Considering that the night bus is too tiring, Nalanshiqi and Yunluo chose to fly from Izmir to Istanbul and transfer to Nevsehir Airport. In the morning, Nalanshiqi and Yunluo checked out and took a minibus from Alacati Bus Station to Cesme. Then they took the airport bus of Havas Company from Cesme.
Arrived at Izmir Airport. This was the first time that Nalanshiqi and Yunluo got off at the wrong station, because they had asked before that they should transfer at Cesme, and ended up telling the driver that they were going to Cesme. Then when they arrived, the Turkish people on the bus were very enthusiastic and told Nalanshiqi and Yunluo that they had arrived at "cesme", but Nalanshiqi and Yunluo got off the bus and found that they were in the center of the town.
I couldn't find the Havas bus. I asked around and found out that I should get off at Cesme Otogar and then take the Havas bus. Luckily, Havas arrived as soon as I arrived at Otogar. Otherwise, I would have to wait for an hour. The Havas shuttle bus runs along the northern Aegean Sea for half a circle and then arrives at Izmir Airport.
I have to say that coastal cities are much more developed than the inland cities, and prices are much higher. There are few people at Izmir Airport, but it is very large. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo are going to have a big meal here. Although it is a little expensive. As a result, there was a little joke. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo ordered a lot of food and brought it over to eat.
As a result, I saw a place behind the pillar that was similar to a supermarket cashier. Everyone took their food there to pay the bill before coming back to eat, haha. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo could only call the cashier over to help Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo count the plates before paying the bill. Coffee fortune telling in Izmir.
In Greece or Turkey, you can often see coffee fortune tellers in coffee shops who are dedicated to answering questions and solving problems. Yunluo also ordered a Turkish coffee and prepared to tell fortunes for Nalan Shiqi, haha. Turkish coffee is a United Nations intangible cultural heritage, and coffee was introduced to the European continent by the Turks.
The traditional Chinese divination is to predict the near future events based on the shape of the remaining coffee grounds. After drinking coffee, the shape of the coffee grounds will remain at the bottom of the cup. Yunluo made a divination for Nalan Shiqi: "You have found someone you love very much, who can bring you a lifetime of happiness, haha!" Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo were on a Pegasus Airlines flight.
It is a low-cost airline, and there are food for sale on the plane. Nalan Shiqi couldn't help but spend 12 liras to buy a box of instant noodles. It was so painful! When we were about to arrive in Istanbul, the plane flew over the sea. I took a picture of the beautiful scenery below with my iPad. The blue above is the sky, and the blue below is the sea. The clouds separated the sea and the sky into a cotton candy line.
Haitian was really confused. In the afternoon, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo arrived at Nevsehir Airport. It was the first time they encountered such a small airport. When they came out, they saw a bunch of people waiting by the wall. Then Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo looked for the luggage tray, and found a small conveyor belt among the crowd.
After picking up their luggage, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo went out to look for the hotel's airport pick-up staff, but they couldn't find Yunluo's name after searching for a long time. However, Yunluo had already confirmed it with the hotel via email the day before. Later, they asked the staff to help call the hotel, and then they talked in Turkish and took Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo to the shuttle bus.
I feel that the Turkish people are quite enthusiastic. Just ask any questions you have. After about an hour, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo arrived at the small town of Goreme with a lunar landscape. Cappadocia Inn Hotel, this is the hotel Yunluo had booked on booking before, but unfortunately only booked two nights, so he arrived one day early today.
We only added one night. I guess the hotel was a little confused because Yunluo arrived early, so they made a mistake in picking us up from the airport. But the hotel staff was so nice. When they saw you, they smiled as if they had won the lottery. They also made cappuccino for Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo. Then we stayed in the round bed for the night.
The price was the same as the next two nights, 80 euros, which saved 10 euros compared to booking directly, and then changed back to the stone suite. The hotel has a large terrace, and you can see the whole view of Goreme. Goreme has various small hills, so the higher the hotel, the better the view. In the evening, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo went to the center of the town.
It is very close to the hotel. We tasted the famous clay pot beef, which tasted good, a bit like the tomato stewed beef brisket in China. Looking forward to the hot air balloon flight tomorrow morning, Yunluo fell asleep excitedly. Later, Nalan Shiqi said that he basically didn't sleep all night. Hot air balloon trip: Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo decided to take Maccan balloons.
The price of this company is relatively expensive. Hot air balloon flying is still dangerous. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo definitely don't seek cheapness when it comes to personal safety. Later it turned out that this flight was very successful. At 4:15 in the morning, the hot air balloon company's shuttle bus will arrive at each hotel to pick up Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo.
Then we went to the office, had breakfast, and got our boarding badges. We set off for the take-off point at about 5 o'clock. When we arrived at the take-off point, everyone was excited and took photos of the hot air balloons all over the sky. The hot air balloons were very large and could carry 20 people. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo climbed into the big basket below one by one.
Because of the heat, it was quite warm in the basket, but it was still quite cold in the morning, so long-sleeved clothes were indispensable. Yunluo also put on the cartoon bath towel bought in ilica, for fear of catching a cold. After everyone entered the basket, the pilot introduced the safety instructions, especially what posture to maintain if there was a hard landing.
Soon, the hot air balloon took off! It was so quiet everywhere, and all you could see was the colorful hot air balloon floating above the valley in the early morning. Everyone screamed with joy. It really was like a fairy tale, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo left the surface of the earth on a hot air balloon and flew over the moon. The bright moon was hanging high here.
The sun was rising in the east. It was an angel who loosened the string in his hand and released Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo's hot air balloon, which was circling the fairy chimney. The pilot was very skilled in controlling the hot air balloon, flying steadily, sometimes jokingly seeming to crash into the Pigeon Valley, and sometimes instantly pulling up and rushing into the sky.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Everyone took photos in the basket, immersed in the spectacular and fantastic clouds and sky. Nalan Shiqi suddenly handed her phone to a group of foreign students next to her, asking them to take a video for Yunluo. Yunluo guessed it, because when she woke up in the morning, she found a small note next to Nalan Shiqi's wallet.
Afterwards, Yunluo deliberately turned away her eyes and did not read the content. Although Nalan Shiqi was just filling in this part of Yunluo's life, and although Yunluo had already guessed that Nalan Shiqi would confess to Yunluo on the hot air balloon, Yunluo was already very surprised and happy. When Nalan Shiqi was halfway through her speech, Yunluo had already choked up.
Several tourists and friends nearby congratulated Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo, wishing them happiness. Yunluo regretted having her ugly bangs cut in Izmir two days ago, Yunluo regretted not wearing beautiful clothes, and Yunluo regretted not buying a new selfie stick after losing it to record this romantic moment between Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo.
But Yunluo was glad that she chose this person next to her, the person who was willing to take care of her for the rest of her life under the witness of heaven and earth! After flying for about 50 minutes, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo's hot air balloon slowly landed. The pilot controlled it very well, and the hot air balloon landed steadily. The staff carried Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo out of the basket one by one. (To be continued...)
