Travel to Turkey May 2-4, 2018

Our travels from Vancouver to Istanbul were relatively pain free and included:1 hour flight delay to relax in YVRCotty finally touching european soil after 41 yearsJudi shrugging off the 9+ transatlantic flight like it was nothingVirtually no delays at customs or security in GatwickOverpriced lunch at the Jamie Oliver GrillFriendly staff at Turkish Air (a sign of things to come)And then ... drum roll please ...First time in Turkey for Judi !!!!!!!! And obviously Cotty too.We were obviously pretty tired and happy to eventually find the second hotel entrance, confirm our reservation, and be led to our enourmous room. If only the jacuzzi worked a little better. Le sigh. You can’t have everything. We didn’t let that dampen our spirits!First morning in Instanbul was eventful:Fresh pressed juice on the streetTons and tons of delicious looking treatsThe grand bazaar!!!! Including many spices, rugs, clothes, and knicknacksTurkish shave :)New sim card for the JphoneNext up is an evening flight to Dalaman in southern Turkey and the beach cities of Fetiye and Calis. Pronounced Fet ee yay and Chalish ;) ... Until then here are a few more pics from our day in Istanbul :),
