Van Ankara Residence naar Cicekkent, Sokak 5, no 9

Het is Bayram. Dat kenden we tot heden als Eid, maar alles is hier anders, en dus de Eid ook. Niet dat we veel hebben gemerkt van Ramadan (hier: RamaZan), dat stond dit jaar eens lekker ver van ons af. Geen inzakkende services, afzakkende arbeidsproduktiviteit, geen schuldgevoel (of ergernis)...

Capital of Two Empires

Arrived in Istanbul today. We arrived at noon so we got to see the city as we arrived, saw the Blue Mosque (Sultanahmet) and Aya Sofia from the ship. Once docked we got on our tour bus which started off by stopping at the New Mosque, which we went inside to see. This mosque was built in the...

Ephesus

Ship arrived in Izmir, Turkey this morning. We had a tour booked for Ephesus; which is an old city built 3000+ years ago. Got off the ship once we were cleared by Turkish officials and were given a landing card; its kind of like a visa you receive it when you get off the boat and have to give...

Pergamon

We left Istanbul just before the floods started, so timing was perfect for us. We slowly made our way south and stopped for a day in Bergama, where a little drizzle didn't deter us from visiting Roman ruins. This is a picture from the Acropolis, where Jeremy and Sasha are standing in the...

Last day in Istanbul

Today was our last day in Istanbul and it rained periodically. I think Vita and I are both done with the press of the city, the traffic and all of the people. We went with Sasha to the grand bazaar and bargained our brains out and ended up with a beautiful 6 tile piece very representative of...

the spice bazaar

The bazaars here are as grand as expected. Crowded, all the haggling and bargaining in multiple languages, very vibrant. As expected, we needed nothing but walked out significantly more poor.

weekend

Wat een heerlijk weekend! Zaterdag op pad met Willem en zijn kinderen naar de dierentuin van Ankara. Heel erg leuk, prima dierentuin waar we zeker naar terug zullen gaan. Rustig, ruim opgezet en groen. Leuke dieren gezien: tijgers, leeuwen, nijpaard, vogeltjes, kamelen, beren, poezen, apen,...
