Sunday 22nd August 2010

Our plane to Istanbul left at 11.20am or 5.20 our time. We were due to arrive in Istanbul at 2.30pm or 9.30pm our time. It was 3018 klms or 1874 miles at 15.10 their time. Had the choice Parsley & Mustard Roast Chicken with vegetables or Lamb Machbous with Rice, Triple Chocolate Surprise, tea or coffee and our usual drinks. Another long flight and we finally touched down at 2.40. We were just exhausted when we touched down. We were picked up by the courtesy bus and taken to our hotel. By the time we got to our hotel (Conrad Hotel) we had had enough. The room was beautiful and the bed was huge.
Wally, Helen, Sandy and me had a beer in the Restaurant while waiting for our briefing to start at 6.30pm.
Met our Tour Guide Daghan (who said we could call him Han) and some of the people on our tour. The others weren't due to arrive until later in the night.
We then went back to the Restaurant and just had hamburgers for tea and we all went to bed, so tired.
