We have only done the drive
from the airport in the dark and the light confirms for us what a beautiful
city Istanbul is. The old city is cramped and congested, but
that is the charm of it. Once we are out

To answer a few questions from comments…
- Turkish cider was OK…quite sweet and served over ice. Don’t think I’ll have one again.
- Olive oil…not sure what combination we liked best. There was a oil infused with chillies which was quite hot and tasty, one infused with rosemary that was a bit too bitter.
- Gambling… 3 of a kind pays 30 to 1, straight flush pays 40 to 1. Chris typically plays $10, I play $5. In the end we were ahead by $400.
- Chris staying humble…as humble as he ever is!
