When I woke up, I was surprised to know that it was 8:10. We were going to be landing soon. I strted playing a few games, then I heard the Captain say that it was time for landing. I decided to turn off the little screen and close my eyes. I wnated it to feel weird. I was at least trying to close my eyes, but I couldn't because I wanted to see the Eifel Tower. Iw as looking for that tower, but I couldn't seem to find it. What I didn't know was that the airport was outside of Paris. We landed and had to go through security one more time. We went to our gate to get to Istanbul. I was very tired and I was very glad that it was a fun airport. It had TV's, computers and even PlayStation 3's, but I decided not to do any of it. So my brother, sister and my Dad came back with a huge choclate chip muffin. It tasted really good. It was time for boarding. It was Air France, but to bad, it had no TV screens. The plane ride was borrrrrring!!
It was not bumpy. I was glad when we were off the plane Pizza that was not Pizza
Pizza that was not Pizza
 .

In Istanbul at last!!!!

We had to get visas, then headed out to our taxi and off to the Hotel Antik.
The room was nice. After we unpacked we looked for dinner spots. It started raining hard. We were strolling round the streets of Turkey in the rain!
Finaly we found a place for dinner. It was a great restaurant with lamb and meat and chicken and a thing that looked like Pizza, but wasn't. It was a great meal and I loved it. We headed back to the hotel on a tram. A tram is something like a train, but isn't. I was happy we didn't have to walk in the rain anymore.
