16Jun night, flight landed in Dubai. My 6-day-long holiday is finished. Turkey trip is as excited as the other trips, but the special part is that this time, my honey was with me so the whole jouney was full of laughter and sweetness.

 

Istanbul is the only city located in both Europe and Asia continents, somehow the special location becomes the interesting part for tourists. The transportation in Istanbul is very convenient and cheap, from bus, tranway, metro to boat. The weather there is pleasant, sunny in the day time, cool at night. The food is delicious and the people are hospitable. The traditional sophe dance can make you peaceful from your heart.

 

We booked our hotel in Sultanahmet in Istanbul which is near the Blue mosqu and the other sight seeings. It is an active area, every day full of tourists.  Beyoglu is the famous shopping area with a lot of European style restarants and clubs. There are a lot of lovely restaurants in the open air. Some big sofa and small tables under the tree can become an interesting place to rest yourself. Istanbul trip can not be satisfied without going to different islands nearby. We went to Princes' island by taking sea bus from Kabatas. Only one hour time, we reached this relaxing place. We rent a bike to ride around the island, along the sea shore and up to the hill. It was a nice day. We played like kids. Kilyos is another ideal place if you like sandy beach, but taking more time to reach. Sea bus, of course, to get off at Seriyer and change bus 151.

 

This is the first time for me to travel with a guy like a couple. There were fighting and arguements, but the important thing is how to compromise to avoid it and learn to take care of each other. Both of us were doing our best to make the journey smoother and more cheerful.
