What kind of a country is Turkey, sometimes like the forests of New Zealand, sometimes like the meadows of Ireland, sometimes like the beaches of Italy.
Brrrr that looked cold - Wow Cappadocia in the winter looks amazing - so crazy to see you went to see Atilla - keep save and warm sending love from us xx
It was cold, but worth it! It was so magical in the snow, and without the crowds too so it felt extra special. And such a small world that we saw Atilla! Sending lots of love to you both, miss you xxx
Hands down favourite video of yours EVER! So much goodness in every part of it. Thanks for transporting us on this miserable day in the UK to Cappadocia xxxx
WOW WOW WOW !!!! I don't think I've ever seen the hot air balloons of Cappadocia in a winter setting 🤩 That was truly unreal ❤️ What an amazing Vlog this week guys 🚐💨🇹🇷❤️
Another blimmin splendid vid. The balloons over the rocky hillside moved me to tears! I'm a daft old bat, too old and with too many physical and financial constraints to ever be able to travel like you do - so you are showing me things I would never otherwise see. Thank you so much.
Oh Sue, this is everything 💛 I'm so happy that the videos can bring you some escapism. The balloons made me emotional too, they were so otherworldly slowly rising over the snow. Sending you loads of love from all of us! xxx
Wow Chesca this is the best video yet, I can't believe how utterly beautiful it is, including the wonderful people you've met. Turkish cooking, making pottery, being on the frozen lake, life just doesn't get any better. Sending hugs from a very wet and windy UK, stay safe, Sue and Bryn x
Thank you so much Sue! 🙏 I think it's one of the best weeks we've had in a long time, I'm so happy to hear you enjoyed watching it as much as we did making it 😊 Its going to take some beating! xx 💕
Always amazed at the generosity of the locals in Turkey! Looks cold to me sitting at my Mac in the Arizonan Sonoran desert. great video, thanks so much! Love the pottery works.
Ah thanks so much guys! Yeah Turkey is above and beyond anything we've experienced in Europe when it comes to hospitality. It's been a magical trip! Hope you're having a lovely weekend xx 💕
Absolutely superb vlog guys, the drone footage of Cappadocia in the snow was absolutely beautiful. Seems Turkey is just as nice in the winter as in the summer 👌
Thanks so much Mark. The light that morning was out of this world, it was incredible to see with the balloons rising up. We're not a fan of the rain but give us snowy weather like this any day 💕
WOW! That opening shot!! Beautiful! The translate apps are such a game changer to be able to socialize without having to fully know languages. Amazing! What an amazing sweet soul for inviting you over and sharing parts of his life with you. I just love that.
Yes! Google translate has been a lifesaver, being able to have a conversation and to get to know people like this, makes the experience so much richer! And how amazing was Ismail?! To invite us for lunch and to make sure we were warm. Such a gentleman! 💕 xx
That vermicelli soup would taste so good especially during a cold day, perfect comfort food! Turkish soup or traditional dishes in general are so underrated, personally i like them way way more than Turkish street food. And the land of beautiful horses, i've never visited Cappadocia but it always makes me feel nostalgic which isn't so weird because the oldest human settlements are also in Turkey not far from there. Also it was even more magical with snow cover, thank you very much guys for this amazing video😍😍
The orzo soup was absolutely delicious! Ben has given me the hard task of re-creating it! 😂 That's really cool that Cappadocia makes you feel nostalgic, maybe some deep part of you recognises the landscape... if you believe in that sort of stuff! ✨ So glad you enjoyed this one, it's one of our favourites 💛
This was just so amazing, I am sitting here in tears. My dear mum who passed away last year, and I, went Hot Air Ballooning in Australia in 2008. This is the first time I have seen footage of Balloons since. I didn't expect this and am so grateful for your expertise in filming and the beautifully emotive scenes you shot. Of course, now I want to show mum . . . ❤❤
Shelagh, we are so moved by your message and just want to say thank you for sharing such a special memory with us. I feel privileged to know the footage meant so much to you. Sending you so much love xxx 💕
Honestly the best most chokka week of Turkey so far!! It has been an absolute dream to experience the magic of Cappadocia with you guys. For once on both our trips the weather lined up perfectly to give us everything we could hope for. A beautiful drive and feeling like we had entered Narnia, it was truly magical 🥰❄️
It was chock FULL but honestly, so much fun. Thank you for being the best convoy and adventure buddies, friends forever ♥️ And thank you for coming with us, so that we got to experience and share this absolute magic with you. Miss you so much! xxx
Wow, snow! It looks beautiful. And yes, why not, go where your gut and heart tells you to travel to. Glad you could take us to Cappadocia. I don't know why but when it came to the balloons going up and seeing them against that Winter Wonderland, it brought tears to my eyes....so lovely and picturesque. What an amazing time you all have had together. Where is your family of 4 taking us next? Have a great week!
We are so happy we made the trek over to Cappadocia! The balloons almost brought me to tears too! There was something so sublime and otherworldly about them rising above the snow covered landscape. I'm so glad you felt touched by it too 💛 This week is going to take some beating! xxx
Ahhh, what a way to start a Sunday. Such a lovely vlog, so chilled and relaxing, thank you for sharing. Cappadocia looked incredible, the drone shots with the balloons 😍 We are loving our new routine of Sunday morning coffee in bed with Overlanding Sophia!
Wondeful footage of winter landscapes. I like watching your adventures across my "beautiful and lonely country." I hope lots of Europeans and Americans will watch this video and understand that Türkiye is not "a desert country with eternal summer", where people ride camels and speak a deeply guttural language. Thank you two for allowing us to have a nice break from our daily lives.
Thank you so much! 🙏 I hope people don't have those pre-conceptions of Turkey. It's a varied country with forests and waterfalls, beautiful mountains, amazing food and the friendliest people in the world! 😍
Great Vlog and beautiful watching those baloons in a snowy setting in that town! Then learning to cook Turkish food and making pottery. Well done and thank you for sharing. Makes my Sunday morning a treat!
Sunday mornings are just getting better....It's the Ben and Chesca show😊I love watching your adventures and this one was truly magical. and funny..... you always make me laugh. Sending love to you all🥰🥰🐾🐾
Ah thank youuu, love this 🥰 I think this was definitely one of the most magical experiences we've ever had. Those balloons! 😍 Lots of love from us all xxx 💕
You guys! I was sat here eating Turkish bread for lunch, thoroughly enjoying this vlog! What a wonderful experience for you all! Loved it!😍🥰 Take care you all!
Aw yeah! Like a double Turkish dose for you Ellen! One of our favourite weeks of van life I think, it's going to be hard to top this one! Sending love to you xx 💕
@@OverlandingSophia hahah yes! Good for the eyes AND the belly! I so understand that this has overwhelmed you with nothing but goodness! There you go; memories for life! I am actually blown away myself, vanlife in Turkey in winter is on my list! Love to you both Ben and Chesca, well and mutts ofcourse! XX😘
In fact on BBC tonight they had a programme where they visited Cappadocia, no snow, no balloons!. I mean, what’s going on, when are the beeb gonna fund you?
The cinematic footage in this episode is truly epic,this whole episode has made me smile so much,it truly is the next level .Well done to all and loved the music.
Thank you so much 🥺 It was such a privilege to see the balloons in the snow, and I'm so happy to hear you loved the video as much as I enjoyed editing this one! 😊 xx
That was an awesome video. So many fun activities and beautiful views. The cooking class and pottery making really looked fun. And the view from the park up was amazing. Thank you.
Thank you so much Marcia, I'm so happy to hear you enjoyed it 😊 💕 It was a really fun filled week, topped with the magic of the balloons. It's going to be difficult to top this one! xx
That view of watching the air balloons is just insane, we have seen it filmed in the summer before but the snow just takes things to another level. Have absolutely loved seeing you guys travelling with Philly and Keely too 🧡🧡🧡
Thank you 💕 The balloons were just so magical, the morning light on the snow too.. just like being in a fantasy world. We're going to miss Philly and Keely so much! Best convoy buddies ever 💛 💛
Watching all those balloons was truly amazing!! All that snow and cold, but obviously worth it. When we visited Turkey on holiday a few years back now, we found the people to be very friendly too. Watching you guys there has made us decided to go back this year for another holiday!! Thanks for sharing and stay safe in all that snow and cold!!
It was so magical! I think it’s probably the best time to see Cappadocia - covered in a dusting of snow. So amazing that you’re going back to Turkey after watching the videos, this makes us so happy! Whereabouts will you be heading? 💛
@@OverlandingSophia We stayed in Icmeler last time and this time we are going to Lara Beach, Antalya. Its a package holiday though as we aren't brave enough like you two, to take our motorhome down that far. However the week before we are taking the motorhome over to Amsterdam for a few days.;)
@@daveeldridge117 Ah we love Amsterdam! To be fair, Antalya is a long way to drive your motor home, as we’re finding out 😂 Happiest of travels to you 💛✨
Such a lovely video this week you two🥺😍😄. So relaxing and a pleasure to see. The vibes are great ✨😄🥰 you're right when it comes to Turkish hospitality, such nice welcoming people!! And the food looks spectacular 😍. Also loving the cold weather aesthetic for the first time in a long time!! I hope you're all doing wonderfully, stay safe and I can't wait to see what else you all get up to! Lots of love you lot 💕xxx
Thank you Jak! Yep, nothing beats Turkish hospitality. And it's been fun to get out into some snow on this trip. And with the balloons... it was like being on another planet. Hope you're having a lovely week, sending lots of love xxx 💕
so glad you managed to get to magical Cappadocia! Isn’t it glorious? btw guys, our van Divan is now finished! we both had omicron which delayed things a bit, but tomorrow she is off for a few days of snag fixing, MOT and certification as a camper! cannot wait to get out and explore!
Yes! Cannot believe we even considered giving it a miss. I think we thought it would be over commercialised, but no amount of tour buses can take away the beauty of the balloons in that snow. Just pure magic ✨ And how exciting for you!! The time you've been waiting for! So, where's first?! xx
I absolutely lost it at the Love Valley clips. In the Starbucks in Avanos right now laughing hysterically at that part. I really want to come back in the winter and see it covered in snow. Beautiful video, guys gals and dogs.
Hahah I enjoyed editing that part 😆 Thanks for the kind words, Cappadocia is definitely at it's most magical in winter we think. If you can time it for a fresh snowfall too... it's otherworldly! ✨
Great to see some snow videos for a change. All van life channels focus on beach and water, so your content is a refreshing change. You should venture out to Sagallasos or Hattusas, too. Great place in winter and snow.
Ah I'm glad you noticed that! Those two are so cute 🥺 The balloons were unlike anything we've seen before, felt so lucky to be able to see them in the snow!
Hey guys, what an amazing opening scene ❤️, 😂😂 scout has eaten the mic 😂.. I’m always up for an 11 hour road trip! 😂 the poo 💩 park up lunch 🥗.. / I have no balance for sliding about on a frozen lake but looked so funny! And the two way radios are nice for a bit of a chat on the way. The morning snow ❄️ looks so beautiful.. gotta love the snow!.. what amazing hospitality from the taxi 🚕 guy.. 👌👍 and did you use google translate? What a view from the cooking class. And the cooking looked like so much fun! .. 🙏 -9 🥶, the view of the balloons, melts my heart! Such stunning photography ✊❤️❤️. I’ve made pottery before and it’s funny if it goes wonky and falls off and it’s quite impressive to see done. Everyone did so well! Four legs are better than two going down 😂😂😂 through the rock formations! 🥶 view of the balloons 🎈 ❤️🙏.. thanks for this video, it cheered me up so much after the bad week I’ve had 😎😢👍
Ah I'm so glad this cheered you up! Can't believe what happened to your car! 😔 😔 We managed to pack a lot into this week eh 😂 Those balloons have been a highlight of our entire trip! Hoping you get everything sorted with the car soon, and wishing you a much better week ahead 💛 xxx
Ahh the Austin Powers reference got me - every time! Incredible footage of the balloons. They are so still and serene seemingly just levitating above the town. How do the dogs like them? Ivy is absolutely terrified of anything in the sky!
😆 Ah I'm happy to hear you appreciated the Austin Powers reference! The balloons were completely otherworldly. The dogs didn't even seem to realise they were there! Both River and Scout will just watch birds flying in the sky, and if they get close enough, try to chase them 😂 xx
Cappadocia is an amazing place, I have been twice and love it 😍 We have a Turkish rescue as well. BTW which vet did you use in Greece for the passport?
It's so beautiful isn't it! Thought it might be over-hyped but I don't think its possible to do justice to the place until you see it 🤩 Cant remember the specific name of the vet but it was one in Panorama near Thessaloniki. Give your Turkish rescue a belly rub from us 🐾 💕
That looked amazing, Cappadocia in the winter is stunning... other than, the, ugh... frosted... Johnsons? ;) Love the convoy names, no need to ask why/where the 'chapped arse' came from, that's a really chilly bumdrag for Keely! Safe travels, and see you on Sunday!
The Chapped Arse name was decided on long before Keely dumped herself in the icy lake! 😆 Such a fun road trip and made perfect by the balloon finale. Cappadocia is magic! xx 💕
Hello, glad your still enjoying Turkey, missed a few weeks, but loved the bit with the speeded up the hot air balloons, god you got it colder than we do, did know it got very cold as my mate lived out that way before he went to Istanbul, he always said it was cold which for him where he lived it was what we called 2 coats thick or colder up where he lived on the Pennines. We live in the valleys. Well glad River and Scout still getting on we still have Sir Barkalot our guard dog,well my guard dog who protects Linda more than myself. Glad to see your both well and happy apart from the microphone 🙄 Take care All our best Linda Sir Barkalot and Bob 🙏🙏👍👍🐕
Ah thanks for tuning in Bob! Turkey is still continuing to amaze us with its beauty. If anything the cold and the snow made this experience 100x more magical! Sending love to you all, and belly rubs for Sir Barkalot as always! 🐾 💕 xx
Great video guys, feel like it was a dream. Can’t wait to do this one day soon. Need to keep all your recommendations. So awesome so alive. A big thank you
Beautiful video you guys never had seen pictures in Cappadocia with snow very beautiful. Planning my trip there in April. Wish you good luck with your amazing tours.
Love this video, jeez it looked frèezing! Thankfully you had a back up water tank. We hope to go to Cappadocia one day it looks amazing. Keep up the good work guys ❤x
Thank you guys 💛 It was sooo cold!! But worth every icicle... the balloons in Cappadocia were simply magic. Couldn't recommend it enough, just make sure your diesel heater works 😉 Love you both, just catching up on your new build! xx
I think the place where snow suits best is Cappadocia,as if out of a fairy tale,The contrast of nature is perfect.You also took excellent shots.Thanks :))
Thank you so much Serdar 💕 Totally agree - Cappadocia in the snow was like a fantasy world - so magical! Feeling very lucky we got to experience such magic!
Dear Chesca and Ben, Anatolia is a plateau and its average height is 1000 meters. The winter seasons are cold and there is a large temperature differences between day and night. Türkiye, dünyada en çok turistin ziyaret ettiği 10 ülkeden birisi. Kimi zaman 6 kimi zaman 7. sırada. Bir gün dünyanın en çok ziyaret edilen ülkesi olursak bu İsmail Bey gibi yardımsever ve Türk misafirperverliğinin hakkını veren insanlar sayesinde olacak. İsmail Bey daima bol ve bereketli kazançlarınız olsun 🙏
Thank you for this information Ersel! In our opinion, Cappadocia must be the most beautiful in the winter snow. Especially with the golden sunrise over the snow capped peaks... it was magical. And Ismail was a wonderful, wonderful human and encapsulates everything we love about Turkish people - their warmth, hospitality and friendliness 💛
Excellent! I loved the way the balloons in fast-forward looked like jellyfish bobbing about! Did Ben earn a commission on his sellable pottery piece?! 😁
They're so funny bobbing around! And then the one at the end just disappears upwards 😂 No unfortunately Ben didn't earn a commission, but he did get offered a job 😂
Great video again love valley looked LIKE ASPARAGUS tips lol you went from dry warm to snow -10 no way sorry we like the warm but it looked like you enjoyed your selves, see you again next week stay safe michael & Kim xx
❤ GR8 VID ❤ LOVED IT ❤ Caravan'ing with friends can be so much fun. I happen to caravan full-time with my son, and this weekend, 2 more friends are joining us. We seem to BBQ more, drink more beer, and do more tequila shots when we caravan with friends.
What kind of a country is Turkey, sometimes like the forests of New Zealand, sometimes like the meadows of Ireland, sometimes like the beaches of Italy.
Tell me about it! It blows my mind everywhere we go!
go to north we got Switzerland in Turkey with just one difference..No bank :'(
@@kadircanyldran1849 Yeah go to North-East (Trabzon, Artvin, Rize) and see the Switzerland we have there
It's geographically very diverse. The northeastern part has even some temperate rainforest.
Brrrr that looked cold - Wow Cappadocia in the winter looks amazing - so crazy to see you went to see Atilla - keep save and warm sending love from us xx
It was cold, but worth it! It was so magical in the snow, and without the crowds too so it felt extra special. And such a small world that we saw Atilla! Sending lots of love to you both, miss you xxx

Seeing those balloons over that snow took my breath away. That must have been an amazing thing to see in the flesh
It was one of the most magical and sublime things we've ever seen 💛

Amazing footage of the hot air balloons really enjoyed this one guys.
Thank you so much 💛
so glad you managed to get to magical Cappadocia! Isn’t it glorious? btw guys, our van Divan is now finished! we both had omicron which delayed things a bit, but tomorrow she is off for a few days of snag fixing, MOT and certification as a camper! cannot wait to get out and explore!
Yes! Cannot believe we even considered giving it a miss. I think we thought it would be over commercialised, but no amount of tour buses can take away the beauty of the balloons in that snow. Just pure magic ✨ And how exciting for you!! The time you've been waiting for! So, where's first?! xx
Breathtaking footage 🤩
Thank you Louise! The balloons were an incredible sight 🤩
Muhteşemsiniz. Kapadokya da öyle, sizlerde.
Çok naziksin, teşekkürler! Kapadokya büyülü bir yer 💛
I absolutely lost it at the Love Valley clips. In the Starbucks in Avanos right now laughing hysterically at that part. I really want to come back in the winter and see it covered in snow. Beautiful video, guys gals and dogs.
Hahah I enjoyed editing that part 😆 Thanks for the kind words, Cappadocia is definitely at it's most magical in winter we think. If you can time it for a fresh snowfall too... it's otherworldly! ✨
STUNNING SNOWY CAPPADOCIA ..
Ah amazing! We love those two! 🥰
We miss ya two... fun lookin back on older vlogs 🌠🌅🙏🕊
Wow, this is incredible. Seeing the balloons over the magically scenery looked unreal, so beautiful x
It was one of the most magical sights we've ever seen! The snow just made everything look like a fantasy world! 🧚♂️
Great to see some snow videos for a change. All van life channels focus on beach and water, so your content is a refreshing change. You should venture out to Sagallasos or Hattusas, too. Great place in winter and snow.
We've actually been to Sagallasos, during our first week in Turkey! We absolutely loved it and can imagine it's even more beautiful in the snow 😍
@@OverlandingSophia on to Hatussas then
The hot air balloons over the snow looked beautiful. Another brilliant vlog 👏
Thank you Denise! Ah they were a sight to behold. Pure magic ✨
Beautiful filming, absolutely love Cappadicia, it’s on our bucket list! Safe onwards travels 💛
Thank you! Ah yes! Maybe you should Cappadocia in the winter to the bucket list 😉 It's absolute magic! xx
@@OverlandingSophia I was thinking more of spring time 😂
Scout snuggling with his daddy. The ballons were unreal. Jaw dropppingly beautiful.
Ah I'm glad you noticed that! Those two are so cute 🥺 The balloons were unlike anything we've seen before, felt so lucky to be able to see them in the snow!
Hey guys, what an amazing opening scene ❤️, 😂😂 scout has eaten the mic 😂.. I’m always up for an 11 hour road trip! 😂 the poo 💩 park up lunch 🥗.. / I have no balance for sliding about on a frozen lake but looked so funny! And the two way radios are nice for a bit of a chat on the way. The morning snow ❄️ looks so beautiful.. gotta love the snow!.. what amazing hospitality from the taxi 🚕 guy.. 👌👍 and did you use google translate? What a view from the cooking class. And the cooking looked like so much fun! .. 🙏 -9 🥶, the view of the balloons, melts my heart! Such stunning photography ✊❤️❤️. I’ve made pottery before and it’s funny if it goes wonky and falls off and it’s quite impressive to see done. Everyone did so well! Four legs are better than two going down 😂😂😂 through the rock formations! 🥶 view of the balloons 🎈 ❤️🙏.. thanks for this video, it cheered me up so much after the bad week I’ve had 😎😢👍
Ah I'm so glad this cheered you up! Can't believe what happened to your car! 😔 😔 We managed to pack a lot into this week eh 😂 Those balloons have been a highlight of our entire trip! Hoping you get everything sorted with the car soon, and wishing you a much better week ahead 💛 xxx
@@OverlandingSophia thanks so much! Got a bit of a bad back after it too so I will keep you updated and have another fun packed week! See you soon x
Wahnsinn. Wir wünsch Euch einen schönen Tag. Liebe Grüße Siri and Uwe
Wow truly amazing ❤️ it looks like an amazing adventure and place to visit!
Thanks so much Andrew, it was breathtaking! Definitely one for the bucket list 💛
Fantastic filming - what a fabulous time you’re having! Thanks for sharing it with us.
Thank you for watching Lizzie! It was such a magical week, going to take some topping!
Ahh the Austin Powers reference got me - every time! Incredible footage of the balloons. They are so still and serene seemingly just levitating above the town. How do the dogs like them? Ivy is absolutely terrified of anything in the sky!
😆 Ah I'm happy to hear you appreciated the Austin Powers reference! The balloons were completely otherworldly. The dogs didn't even seem to realise they were there! Both River and Scout will just watch birds flying in the sky, and if they get close enough, try to chase them 😂 xx
Simply well done and thank you for sharing your wonderful experience. Be safe.
You're more than welcome Muzzo! Thank you for joining us! 💛
Wow, what a fabulous vlog. The hot air balloons looked amazing. Thanks for sharing with us all xx
Thank you for watching Tricia! Appreciate the love and support 💕
Cappadocia is an amazing place, I have been twice and love it 😍 We have a Turkish rescue as well. BTW which vet did you use in Greece for the passport?
It's so beautiful isn't it! Thought it might be over-hyped but I don't think its possible to do justice to the place until you see it 🤩 Cant remember the specific name of the vet but it was one in Panorama near Thessaloniki. Give your Turkish rescue a belly rub from us 🐾 💕
Amazing. Thanks for sharing.
You're welcome, thank you so much for watching 😊 🙏
It looks so beautiful with all the snow 😍
Wasn't it just! Made it 100x more magical 😍
That looked amazing, Cappadocia in the winter is stunning... other than, the, ugh... frosted... Johnsons? ;) Love the convoy names, no need to ask why/where the 'chapped arse' came from, that's a really chilly bumdrag for Keely! Safe travels, and see you on Sunday!
The Chapped Arse name was decided on long before Keely dumped herself in the icy lake! 😆 Such a fun road trip and made perfect by the balloon finale. Cappadocia is magic! xx 💕
Great video! Please continue making them! I love your channel 😍
Ah thank you so much! We have no plans to stop making videos anytime soon 😍
Hello, glad your still enjoying Turkey, missed a few weeks, but loved the bit with the speeded up the hot air balloons, god you got it colder than we do, did know it got very cold as my mate lived out that way before he went to Istanbul, he always said it was cold which for him where he lived it was what we called 2 coats thick or colder up where he lived on the Pennines. We live in the valleys. Well glad River and Scout still getting on we still have Sir Barkalot our guard dog,well my guard dog who protects Linda more than myself. Glad to see your both well and happy apart from the microphone 🙄 Take care All our best Linda Sir Barkalot and Bob 🙏🙏👍👍🐕
Ah thanks for tuning in Bob! Turkey is still continuing to amaze us with its beauty. If anything the cold and the snow made this experience 100x more magical! Sending love to you all, and belly rubs for Sir Barkalot as always! 🐾 💕 xx
Great video guys, feel like it was a dream. Can’t wait to do this one day soon. Need to keep all your recommendations. So awesome so alive. A big thank you
Thank you so much June 🙏 It felt really dreamlike and magical watching the balloons in the sunrise. Hope you make it there one day! 💕
Wow Turkey amazes me , there door seem to always be open , and there hearts open to ..great stuff 👍👍🚐
Love this description! Yep, their doors and hearts are always open. Turkish hospitality is something else 🙏💛
A beautiful video. Started watching you two,and the dogs, having found you through Philly and Keely. Looking forward to further videos.
Love this! Thanks so much Ian, we love that crazy pair 💕 Two weeks wasn’t enough with them! Hope you enjoy the videos 🥰💛
That Dish/soup is called shurba in some countries, hearty food especially in winter
Ah okay! Thank you for sharing that, it was MUCH needed on that cold, snowy day!
Happy sunday
Another adventure
This video will definitely be the best seller of the whole trip, everything is so good
Ah thank you 💛 It's been one of the best weeks of our trip so far 🥰
Wow, wow, wow, the balloon shots were just amazing
The beauty of that sunrise and the snow! It was like looking at a different planet 😍
Beautiful video you guys never had seen pictures in Cappadocia with snow very beautiful. Planning my trip there in April. Wish you good luck with your amazing tours.
Thank you so much Maria 💛 We never knew winter in Cappadocia would be so beautiful! I'm sure you'll have an amazing time when you get here xx
Probably the one of the best Cappadocia shot ever if it is not the best one.
Well that's a huge compliment, thank you! The sunrise and the balloons did most of the work 😋
Love this video, jeez it looked frèezing! Thankfully you had a back up water tank. We hope to go to Cappadocia one day it looks amazing. Keep up the good work guys ❤x
Thank you guys 💛 It was sooo cold!! But worth every icicle... the balloons in Cappadocia were simply magic. Couldn't recommend it enough, just make sure your diesel heater works 😉 Love you both, just catching up on your new build! xx
Absolutely magic,,we are spellbound by your vlogs,so thinking you...we want to make Turkey and following with interest.. Jim'n'Sue

Thank you James! 🥰 It was honestly so magical, one of those pinch me moments!
Amazing!
One of your best videos, loved it ! 👍
Aw yeah this is amazing to hear, thank you Vincent 🥰
I think the place where snow suits best is Cappadocia,as if out of a fairy tale,The contrast of nature is perfect.You also took excellent shots.Thanks :))
Thank you so much Serdar 💕 Totally agree - Cappadocia in the snow was like a fantasy world - so magical! Feeling very lucky we got to experience such magic!
Kapadokya Türkiye nin en gözde yerleri👍🧿

😂 😂
Dear Chesca and Ben, Anatolia is a plateau and its average height is 1000 meters. The winter seasons are cold and there is a large temperature differences between day and night.
Türkiye, dünyada en çok turistin ziyaret ettiği 10 ülkeden birisi. Kimi zaman 6 kimi zaman 7. sırada. Bir gün dünyanın en çok ziyaret edilen ülkesi olursak bu İsmail Bey gibi yardımsever ve Türk misafirperverliğinin hakkını veren insanlar sayesinde olacak. İsmail Bey daima bol ve bereketli kazançlarınız olsun 🙏
Thank you for this information Ersel! In our opinion, Cappadocia must be the most beautiful in the winter snow. Especially with the golden sunrise over the snow capped peaks... it was magical. And Ismail was a wonderful, wonderful human and encapsulates everything we love about Turkish people - their warmth, hospitality and friendliness 💛
@@OverlandingSophia on the way to home, if you are going to stop in istanbul, please let me know. Safe travels 🙏🧿❤️
Excellent! I loved the way the balloons in fast-forward looked like jellyfish bobbing about! Did Ben earn a commission on his sellable pottery piece?! 😁
They're so funny bobbing around! And then the one at the end just disappears upwards 😂 No unfortunately Ben didn't earn a commission, but he did get offered a job 😂
@@OverlandingSophia 😂 The man has skillz - something of a career path, maybe, if you stay in Turkey for even longer than expected...?!
Thats great when you speeded up the shots of the ballons, looked amazing
Cheers Del, can you believe theres 100 more balloons that go up in the summer months! 🤯
Wooow you have seen incredible beautiful views And delicious Turkish food you are going great have a nice Holidays
We really have! Turkey has completely spoilt us. Cappadocia was pure magic ✨ 💛

Caravan'ing with friends can be so much fun. I happen to caravan full-time with my son, and this weekend, 2 more friends are joining us. We seem to BBQ more, drink more beer, and do more tequila shots when we caravan with friends.
great shots!!!!!!
Thank you Ahmet! 🥰
