Istanbul was fantastic. Only a few short days but with Sarah and Steve as hosts it was always going to good. Add in great weather and Graeme and his cousin, Amy-Jane, flying in from England and we had a recipe for a wonderful time.

It was so good to be out of air-conditioning and to be able to walk in fresh air. We even had rain. Bliss!

Highlight was a day on a charter boat cruising the Bosphorous. I am not even going to try and name all the places that we saw or describe all the sights. Here is a Google map that shows some of the places and here is a selection the highlights.
