Istanbul, Turkey July 24

We boarded our ship around mid-afternoon today and after having a bit to eat we find the same café near the docks we spent time at last year after boarding the boat. This is a place with a few cafes where we smoke what will probably be our last water pipe and play a bit of backgammon. Once again it is mostly men.

It is comfortable being on the same ship we were on last year. After unpacking and a lifeboat drill, we say good-bye to Istanbul from the upper deck where there is a ‘sail-away’ party.
