BOOM, BOOM, BOOM....BYE!....BODRUM to ISTANBUL

We got very little sleep last night.  The night clubs were going full blast and the boom-boom didn't stop until 4am.  I wonder if it is every night or just on Friday and Saturday.

Laura and I were, in hindsite, very lucky.  We had coffee with Sidar and a chance for quiet conversation before he left.  We should have kept his coffee cup!

Selo had arranged everything and hugged us as we left for the airport around 11:00.  He has another group coming on board this afternoon.

Our ride in from the Istanbul airport was a TRIP.  Our driver wanted to show us the City Wall and took us through a different route... trying to find the hotel.  It was a riot... not lost on us just because we were tired.

WHICH WAY NOW???

FINALLY... WE SAW AYA SOPHIA... AND KNEW WE WERE FINALLY HOME.

We were all tired but we were planning to go to the Turkish Baths, Cemberlitas, one of Sinan's wonders, so we got settled and off we went.  What a GOOD decision!  It was WONDERFUL.  We got the whole nine yards including a wonderful massage.  Check out the link!

ALL CLEAN AND RELAXED!

Then we had to decide where to have dinner....



Bathing with friends :)
