This is it! The final blog of my trip we leave Istanbul tonight . We have been overwhelmed with the culture shopping history and exotic nature if this city . I so want to come back and explore more of Turkey. Perhaps in a few years time and I would like to take in the Holy land at the same time.
Reflections of today? Tired of the constant hounding and bartering of stall keepers . I know a lot more about Islam after the visit to holy relics from Medina at the Topkapi palace today. But I am ready to get home. Miss my family. Even miss the coolness of a NZ winter . Wonder how long it will take to yearn for this heat again? Off to get one more coffee and pastry . Coffee discovered here in Turkey, 500 years ago, believe it or not . Smoking with coffee is entrenched in the culture as the favourite form of relaxing. See you all soon
Love Jan
