Istanbul, Turkey

Day 1-2

Plane landed and immediately Tham went from completely white to completely brown. Instant tan.

We are staying in the old part of the city, right near the blue mosque, if you know where that is. Every second building here is a mosque, carpet shop, or kabab shop. Apparently people are employed to stand out the front of these shops and do nothing all day...or maybe they don't get paid, they just do it for fun (more likely).

We have eaten everything that turkey has to offer in the first 2 days. These include kababs (derr), mezzie, fish sandwiches, pancakes, apple tea, turkish delight (again, derr) etc etc.

Tham wants me to say we visited the Topkaki palace, but i can't be bothered. Tomorrow, we leave Istanbul on the Fez tour, which is a hop-on hop-off bus that goes around turkey, first stop Gallipoli.

the end

Oh, apparently its alright for 2 men to walk around arm in arm romantic-styley...
