Turkey!

Sunday afternoon and we are in Istanbul, Turkey. The flight from Athens was only one hour, yet we had a nice dinner on Aegean Air since it was an international flight. We took the train and tram from the airport to the front door of the Hotel for about $3.00 USD, very easy and no one picked our pockets. Since Monday is supposed to be cool with some rain we are going to the Grand Bazaar which has been in existence for since 1453. There are thousands of shops in a labyrinth of streets, with goods spilling out and relentless shopkeepers. Hopefully we won't get lost or spend all our money! The hotel is conveniently located in the old town within walking distance of all the great attractions.
