Today was a sleeping in day, as we hadn’t had much planned and had done pretty much everything we wanted in Istanbul, so we thought we would just take this day to get some prep work done for the rest of the trip. So, we started with a brunch at “Ranchero”, yes it was a … Continue reading

I think our lesson for other traveling to Istanbul is not to arrive on Friday. Being Sunday, even though things were closed the whole atmosphere was more relaxed and more relaxing.

Alarm was set for 8:30,but after some snoozing, we got up about 9:15 and got ready. After the hotel breakfast we took a taxi to the Aya Sofia (aka Hagia Sofia).

Since it is hard to tell when one day ends and the next begins, I am just going to start the day with landing in Charles deGaulle in Paris, France. After a breakfast, where “plain” yogurt had peaches in it and getting about 4 hours of sleep over the Atlantic, we landed in Charles de … Continue reading
