Istanbul, baby

So when we woke up to begin our travels to Istanbul, Sasha and the owner of this amazing pension (the Athena Pension in Pergamon/Bergama, Turkey) make us one the most amazing breakfasts EVER. There were fresh figs from the tree growing outside, fresh melon, fresh apples and peaches, 4 types of...

Hanging out in Istanbul (#8)

The last two days in Turkey were spent in Istanbul. Our hostel was a few minutes walk from the major sights and offered a spectacular view from its rooftop terrace (So far, we've always been lucky to stay at places that had roof top terraces). We did some walking around the city, indulged in...

Killer Trip - first leg

Setting off at last - the first leg took me from Brisbane to Sydney and on to Hong Kong. A five hour stop there and I thought I was really tired. I used the time to review my itinerary and I realised I was less than half the way there. An 11 hour flight into Istanbul for my 17 hour stopover. I...

A return to the ancient city - Istanbul

Long trip to Istanbul (12 hours) - only real break was at a gas station buffet where the food was very very very dodgy…complaints to tour guide fell on deaf ears - he just doesn’t give a rats arse. On the way back to Istanbul we stopped in Busra to visit the Mosque (probably seen enough of...

The History of Istanbul - awesome

Walking tour of Istanbul with the full Tour Group. Visited the Cistern, Bascillica, Hippodrome and Topkapi Palace. We were told that legend has it that the Medusa heads in the Cistern are upside down because a worker got the shits with his boss and laid them incorrectly as pay back. You...

Istanbul - wow!!

Had my first experience with a Turkish / Continental breakfast - cheese, olives, cold meat (not sure exactly what) and cay (tea). A few of the tour participants who had booked in Australia (9 day tour - those who booked in Europe were on an 8 day tour) were taken on a bus tour of Istanbul...

The Start of my emotional journey to Gallipoli - Istanbul

Arrived in Istanbul, Turkey at 1620hrs. Had to wait for about 40minutes for the ‘Tour’ company to be ready to leave. Traffic was something that can only be seen to be believed - bumper to bumper and there is really no rules except for the largest and brashest and most constant horn driver...

Day 4

Our final morning in Istanbul was spent touring the Dolmabahce Palace, which was just down the road from our hotel. Also an old Ottoman palace, this place was spectacular, by far the most beautiful and impressive sight we had seen thus far into the trip. Room after room was decorated with...
