Page 4 - Turkey 2019

Sunday 9th June, 2019.
oday is a free day for us as we
Twait for other guests on the tour
to arrive.
After breakfast we decide to go for a
walk and explore the legendary city
of Istanbul, a unique city that
stretches over two continents,
straddling the Bosphorus (Istanbul
Strait), with one bank in Europe and
the other in Asia. Its position has
given the city an unmistakably
cosmopolitan atmosphere. The life
and colour of the Middle East
coupled with its high standard of
living and European atmosphere
highlights the contrast between the
traditional and modern aspects of
the city.
We go down to the dock area then
back through some of the back
streets to get a feel for the locals.
In the evening we met our fellow
travellers and Tour Director for a
welcome drink.
