Day 8 – Cappadocia (Nov 18)

Thu, 19 Nov 2015 | By nn-onthemove | Views [243]

Today was a slower day, finally. I slept in until the sound of balloons overhead got us up around 7. There were much fewer today, perhaps because it was fairly cold, at 32deg when we got up. It was probably a bit colder when the balloons took off around ... Read more >

We were awoken by the sound of the burner needed to keep a hot air balloon flying!! I dressed and went out on the balcony and there were dozens and more hot air balloons above Goreme/Cappadocia. The view of them has me thinking, or rethinking, taking ... Read more >

Day 5 – Istanbul to Cappadocia

Even though we explored the way to the bus stop it was still a bit of a haul with the luggage. The hill up to Taksim Square seemed to have gotten a lot steeper going up it for the first time!!! We got to the bus with a few minutes to spare and then got ... Read more >

Ask any Kiwi traveller what to see in Turkey and their lists will generally be almost identical: Istanbul, Cappadocia, Pamukkale and Gallipoli. Before leaving the UK Tamara popped over to Gallipoli for Anzac day 2002. On that visit she embarked on a ... Read more >

Today was an up and at-em day again!!! Needed to catch the one and only ferry along the Bosporus that left at 10:50 and was a 35 minute walk and we didn’t know where we needed to be to catch it. We were able to get a cup of coffee and  a quick ... Read more >

Day 3 - Istanbul

Sat, 14 Nov 2015 | By nn-onthemove | Views [255]

We ended up having a slower start today. Maybe from all the walking it was time to rest a bit. Wednesday was 22,500 step day and Thursday was 23,000+. Tired feet. We wandered down the hill to get the T1 tram back into Sultehamet to see the Topkapi ... Read more >

Day 2 – Istanbul

Started out early again to catch the 8:40 ferry to the Princes Islands as we didn’t want to delay until the next ferry at 10:40. It’s a 90 min ride with stops at several of the smaller islands. It was sunny and a bit hazy so photos aren’... Read more >

Day 1 - Istanbul

Well, Day 1 in Istanbul. It’s nearly 10:30pm and it’s been a long day. So long that we got back to the flat and were too beat to go out for dinner. Thom went to a neighborhood place for a few things, stuffed eggplant, stuffed peppers and ... Read more >
