Allstar Green Park Merter Hote Istanbul

... headed back to the hotel for our group dinner and had a great buffet then settled back as all good aussies do for a little drink with the gang.

Next morning we were up and out early on the road again bound for Florence this only took about 4 hours but was a good time to catch up on some zzzzzzzz as it is all go on tour but we do not mind as it is such fun .

We arrived in Florence and went straight for the main part of town for a walking tour with a local ...

... on the local NBC affiliate. In the 1980s, she was single and got pregnant and was considered the model for the storyline that was later created on Murphy Brown.) Also, while I was at Logan, the Aer Lingus paged Brenda Fricker to the gate, and I wondered if it was the actress. Instead of sitting around for an hour waiting to sit on plane for six, I did go in search of her, even though I couldn't remember what she looked like. I did see a woman who ...

... the cliff side and there is a monstrous church completely carved out of the rock. It is complete with pillars, domes, and painted walls. I’ve never seen anything like this, it was absolutely stunning because unless you examined closer you would imagine it to be like a small church built from the ground up. It must have taken no small amount of genius to carve. We also did some climbing up into the other levels of the monks’ quarters, and enjoyed ...

... city but there are no stairs into that horse's underbelly, so according to the kids, it loses style points. The second reason we went to the Gallipoli Peninsula was for its World War 1 history, where we (rightly or wrongly) spared no gory details from the kids. This area was the first line of defense for Istanbul, and it holds special significance for Australians and New Zealanders, who, along, with the opposing Turks, suffered tremendous casualties ...

It was around 6am on a sticky, summer morning when the bed started rocking. Chris, deep in sleep, didn't even stir, but Caroline woke suddenly - assuming at first an early arrival was shuffling into the bunk above her. But when the rhythmic shaking continued, she began to suspect that something a little out-of-the-ordinary was going on. Later that day news spread that the early morning wake up call had been due to an earthquake ...

... so we can compete with the best of them and that we can get some good deals while we are here. No complaints here! Yesterday was excellent - so much seen, so much done. I went with a couple of friends to the istanbul museum of modern art and it was a great complex. the sad thing is that it was completely dead and seems like no one really visits. the location isnt the best because its kind of tucked away and isnt easy to spot by the ...

Kavalti - (Say: Ka-val-ta) is aTurkish Breakfast- a traditional one is hard boiled eggs, tomatoes, olives, cucumbers, white soft cheese and others, bread (ekmek), honey, sour cherry jam, tahini & pekmez, and a strong tea served in the tulip shaped glasses. We didn't have it, but clotted cream & honey are included in a Turkish breakfast Doner- the meat (kuzu/lamb) you took a pic of on the skewer; it's ...

... is a priority, so we walk up behind the hotel for some large bottles. 1 lira. Pretty cheap. Jet lag and an early day jammed packed with touring means in bed by 10:00. Which would have worked fine, however the noise coming from outside my fourth floor hotel has me awake. A huge crowd carrying red flags and large banners are marching down the street and turning up a side street in the distance. The chant is repeated, and repeated and repeated. Well, this just might be a long night.

October 13, 2007 Okay. I couldn't sleep until after 4am last night. That sucked. Then I woke up at 9, almost 10am. I showered, dressed and ate. We were out the door by noon and down the street at some shotty street markety type of place. It was raining...not hard, but enough to be bothersome. We were in search of teacups with the evil eye as a decoration. We found nothing. Nunu picked up a new outfit since he got everything washed and nothing was dry by the morning ...
