Istanbul


Istanbul has been an enjoyable two day stop off on the way to Kazak. The Turks cook some fantastic dıshes includıng lambs intenstines and mussels stuffed wıth bacteria from the Bosphorus. Apart from these the food ıs fantastic, the pubs and coffee shops relaxıng and we have made many frıends wıth the shady rug dealers. The hospitality shown to us has meant we risk losiıng our hard edge. Tonight we fly to Almaty a town known for Apples and Land mines.

A wonderful synopsis of your time in the largest Turkish city. I do hope you didn't endure 20 hours of flying and not use the line - "I don't know your name, but your Fez looks familiar..."

Be ware of excessive amounts of pseudoephedrine tablets. Sounds fun at the time, but it's hell in a Turkish bath the next day
