Yep that's right! I went to Istanbul!!! Can you believe it? Neither can I. I was sure I'd never leave the United States and now I've visited some incredible places. I also never left my family for a "girls" trip before moving to Germany either. (I'm just experiencing so many new things). Added Bonus, I came home to a clean house! Woot Woot !!!
What an experience. It's not a long flight from Düsseldorf, but it was like stepping into a new world. I've seen some of the most beautiful European Cathedrals, but the sights in Istanbul are breathtaking too. I often fell behind our tour group getting caught up in trying to capture the feel of Istanbul with pictures. I finally decided I can't do it justice.
We had an amazing tour guide, Omar, who was so full of knowledge and was so accommodating, we had a wonderful day touring. The first night we decided to explore down by the Bosphorus It was a hazy day, but the fisherman and their "friends" were still busy.
We ended the trip with Dinner show at the Galata Tower. It was a fun way to end the trip but I think the best part was the view from the tower. I have to thank all my friends who were on the trip with me for making it such a fun experience. I also want to thank those friends who organized the trip. It is definitely one to remember.
I'm glad to be home with my family, and I have some wonderful memories from my few days in Istanbul, but I'm also excited for the next adventure to begin, wherever that may be!
Until next time, God's Blessings to you all
