Ihope this is the right site to input a new post.
The flight over on Turkish airlines was very pleasent. Rakhat slept most the way. Turkish Airlines serves a very nice breakfast and gives you a gift in a little bag with a pair of socks,shoe horn,comb, and toothpaste and paste. I immediately took off my boots and put on the socks,filled up my travel pillow and got comfortable. A young handsome Turkish youth 21 years old sat between Rakhat and me. He is now a citizen of Australia having moved there from Istanbul 10 years ago. He was in Kyrgyzstan for 5 weeks as an intern for a petro company as part of his university course in international business. There were two American movie shown. One with Anthony Hopkins in Fracture and the other with Richard Greer about Howard Howard Hughes.
For a while we were uncertain at the airport on Arrival in Istanbul,after a while a young Kyrgyz sent by Rakhat friends in Bishket arrived and helped us get on the light rail transit and etc. to get to our hotel and also visit the amazing mosque and churches. The Blue Mosque is unreal!!!
Simply amazingly beautiful. Can not get a good photo to capture its magnificents. I will have to find a good postcard.
The hotel we are in is lovely but much too expensive for my pocket book. I think I need to end here for now. Need to wake up Rakhat so we can took advantage of the fabulous breakfast that comes with the price of our stay. I told Rakhat we need to take full advantage of this place while we are here. Today we move to a less,but very nice place a little a way from here but walking distance.
Until next time. Aloha. Joanne
