Medellin region

Day 9. Bus to Medellin
We moved on to the next city, Medellin by taking a 6 hours bus ride through the zigzaging road along the mountain. This bus trip definitely was not for the weak bellies like me. I could taste the empanadas and papaya I had for bre...

When we were planning the trip to Cappadocia, we thought we wouldn't go on any hot air balloon for two reasons: that ride costs a fortune (about 200$ per person for about an hour of ride) and I am afraid of heights.

The reasons I am writing this article are because:
  1. Incheon airport is darn awesome,

I am a sucker for natural waterbodies. Rivers, lakes, even ponds, you name it, I love it, and I must have at least dipped my feet in 98% of waterbodies I see IRL, especially if its clear running waterbodies. So when I read about Pamukkale, the famous mineral water travertines in Turkey, I ...
