Today we left Istanbul after going to the Grand Bazaar where there are over 4000 'shops'. Gallipoli was different from what I had imagined and quitea moving experience. We crossed the strait from Europe to Asia on a vehicular ferry. At the moment I am in Cannakkale for one night. It is quite an amazing sight to look out the window and see this magnificant half moon pool. The Agean Sea ws really blue.
I had no problems with all of my connecting flights and meeting up with the tour group. It is mostly Australians and New Zealanders. I am sharing a room with an American travel writer. She is quite nice.
"Shops"... Are they less than or more than shops in Australia? Is it kind of like our weekend markets?
ReplyDeleteWhat is the food like, have you tried anything new and exciting?
There are shops everywhere selling everything. I restrained myself until today when I bought a couple of table cloths. Our weekend markets have nothing on the Grand Bazaar. 4000 shops!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe food is great, plenty of it, fruit is delicious, tomatoes vine ripened, beer is quenching, sweets are divine.
