Previous entry just until day 3 right, now I'll continue with a few days after that...
3rd Day - 24 Dec 2011
Early in the morning, we are transfered for "Hot Air Balloon" ride. It takes around 10minutes from our hotel to the place for the balloon ride. We had light breakfast before the explorer begin.
The pilot gave us briefing and safety procedures before the van took us to the hill.
Seriously, that was amazing experience I ever had...hot air balloon during winter+the huge balloon for 24 capacity of humans...

About 2 hours there, we move to visit "KAYMALK UNDERGROUND CITY"
This place actually was built to accommodate some half of a million people during the Roman Empire occupation and is linked by underground tunnels to other cities..
The tunnels was so long and you can see the light and candle everywhere when u enter the tunnels.

4th Day - 25 Dec 2011
Today we will go throughast our a log bus journey again.
We enjoyed our breakfast at the hotel and after breakfast our group transfered to KONYA..
Upon arrival, we proceed to KONYA KERVANSAY....a museum again..
Then we visit "MEVLANA MUSEUM" or we called MAULANA.
This museum also known as the "Green Mausoleum or Green Dome. It is the original tekke or lodge of the Maulana Whirling Dervishes, a mystical Sufi Muslim group...
Until now, I still can remembered everything in this museum..from sekecil2 Al-Quran sehingga sebesar2 naskah Al-Quran...dari tulisan tangan sehingga lah ke cetakan komputer, dr helaian kertas sehinggahlah pancaran LCD...
The most important part, ayu paling tak boleh lupakan bau rambut Rasullullah saat ayu mencium kotak rambut tersebut..Helaian rambut nabi yang tersimpan kemas di kotak museum dicium melalui penjuru lubang kotak yg dkecik, tp baunya harum sangat...beratus tahun tapi baunya kekal kehari ini..SubahanAllah..
I'm impressed..

We move to visit "ALAETTIN MOSQUE" but suddenly k.betty had a heart problem..
We stuck there and rushing to the nearest private hospital..
Thank to Allah, we already took precaution before we travel there...each of us was covered by insurance, if not we have to pay by using our own money. The cost for medical at Turkey is very-very expensive, so I advice all of you that have plan to go there please cover yourself with insurance.
It's really2 important, we never know what will happen...
So, the planned change....we not went to ANTALYA but stayed at KONYA for that night..
RIXOS hotel is our destination for that night..
Alhamdullilah, K.betty discharge with doctor permission...

The distance from Konya to Pamukkale is around 550km...
Upon arrival at PAMUKKALE we went to sightseeing tour to visit "HIERAPOLIS"
And then went to COTTON CASTLE, a place with a magical and spectacular natural site here and there. It's really unique in the world and is well-known for it's marvelos white lime cascades formed by hot mineral spring...
