Everything was going really well, up to the point that our balloon burst! Bummer:
Finally coming to rest:
Here's Mr Random, James, Andrew, Crazy, our pilot, myself and Bridget:
Straight after the ballooning we took off on a tour, first stop a large underground city:
You can see the "door" to the left in this pic. The city was designed to keep tens of thousands of people safe during times of war:
Andrew trying vainly to fit his biceps through the narrow passageways:
Bridge popping out!
We had a nice stroll down a canyon after that:
Having lunch in the middle of the river:
Then it was off to visit a monastery carved out of the side of the hills:
It was all rather impressive:


And finally back to the Flintstones, where Crazy was DJing, Andrew tending the bar and James taking advantage of the fruits of their efforts:
Oh, and the Testi I mentioned before? It is actually meats and vegetables cooked in a clay pot, you then crack the pot in half to eat it! I great novelty:
PHEW! And that's only a few days in to our trip! We sure packed a lot in.
