... of winter. <br><br>I found my way to the Otagar (main bus terminal) and with a little assistance found the office selling tickets to Eceabat - the main town on the Gallipoli peninsula... only 5&amp;half more hours of traveling before I could drop my bag for the night. <br>On the bus I bumped into a Chinese Canadian who was staying in the next town, but heading the same way as me through Turkey, Syria Jordan etc etc and over the coming week we kept bumping into each other.

... Mosque, Hagia Sophia, and Topkapi Palace, we found surprisingly green and lovely parks to walk through. <br><br>The Grand Bazaar was amazing. This is somewhere you could easily spend a couple of days and a small fortune. Learn to haggle, as this is what is expected and is a great deal of fun too. I got 2 shirts for around £10, and Chris got a purse for less than half the asking price. You can ...

... in front<br>of every guesthouse. We were both very tired and I, after staying up<br>until 4 am writing about Egypt the night before, was badly in need of a<br>nap.<br><br><br><br>But our drive to Sultanhamet along the Sea of Marmara and the fact our<br>hotel had a roofdeck restaurant and bar was too enticing. We decided<br>to have a drink. <br><br><br><br>Up on the roof there was a beautiful view of the sea, obscured only by<br>the roofdeck of another hotel, a "real ...

We have certainly stepped it up a notch as we begin the European half of our journey. Upon arrival in Istanbul we grabbed a cab that had four wheels and was not powered by a scooter engine, which took us by apartment buildings that smacked of air conditioning and indoor plumbing. We joined KB's sister Lauren and her husband Scott at a rather swank hotel called The Daphne and ...

... hike! With no parties or bars to visit, we sat with Meryl, the hotel operator, and had a few to many shots of Raki, not recommended! A bruise and cut to my head from the low bathroom door, we hit the beach in the morning with tights, pants, thicks socks, ice breaker and hoodie! Some summer holiday. Walked 4 kms through villages to the Chimera ...

... materials for making cheese, and then all the spices and pigeons around the area!   From there, we got on the boat for about an hour and a half and just cruised.  It was so much fun and so relaxing!  Once we got back, we decided on lunch nibbles at Starbucks and then headed to the Topatki Palace grounds.  It was back down the hill and not ...

July 9, 2008 My roommie and I had just gotten back from Grand Bazaar and were surfing online when I read a message from a friend asking about people's reactions to the incident in the morning. I turned to my roommate and saw that she was gravely reading the NYT article: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/10/world /europe/10turkey.html?_r=1&amp;hp&amp;o ref=slogin Other students did not seem too worried about the incident ...

... a son she would become a Sultan as well and her family would be considered royalty. If she did not get pregnant he would move on to another woman. After a woman in the harem passes the age of 25 she is let go and free to marry whom ever she wants. This was considered an honor for a woman to be in the Sultan's harem, and once a woman made it to the harem she was educated (forced to learn 3 languages, she had to learn how to play a musical instrument ...

... a canopy of stars at the base of the main mast. I could see the moon between the riggings or at the crow's nest. The air was always cool with a nice sea breeze. My deck mates were four men. Two older friends of my cousin and their grown sons. Lots of snoring. I had ear plugs. Alas, all good things must come to an end. The trip ended at the docks of Ýçmeler at about 9:30 Saturday morning. I hitched a ride to Marmaris where I found a hotel at the beach for the night. I ...
