Istanbul is amazing! We feel that
the Turkish people are incredibly friendly, kind and helpful. We waited
an hour for our car at the airport and other tour guides offered to help,
lent us their cell phones and made the 'Where are you calls?' on our
behalf. On the way to our hotel our taxi driver stopped his vehicle, ran to a
stall, and then opened the back door to toss bottles of cold water to us. These
are examples of the kindness of the Turkish people we have met.
We are in staying in the old city
which is full of narrow streets, shops, stalls, roadside vendors of plums and
chocolate covered pastries. I do not think our feet have touched the ground and
I have eaten plenty of Turkish delight. Supper was lamb stew with honey,
roasted almonds, apricots and I do not know what else. It was delicious!
I did not have the wine, but everyone else said how good it was. And
Turkish tea in glasses. The best part? Half the price of a meal
in the UK!
