we have spent the past few days in Istanbul relaxing and doing not very much at all. we arrived here about 1am on Monday morning (SUnday night depending on how you look at it). we spent our first day sleeping, skyping home, eating and going to the movies. we saw sex and the city 2 in Taksim. i was a bit dissapointed, parts of the movie were funny and the clothes ridiculous considering where they were meant to be. i have been to a spice bazaar and if anyone wore what Carrie was wearing you would even fit your dress down the aisles. but im glad i saw it, and even though i wad dissapointed no doubt i will probably watch it 50 more times over the next few years and up loving it.
yesterday we spent the day shopping in Taksim, ewen got a few books and i got a dress and two tops and lots of socks because all of mine have holes in them! we also got some souviners which we plan to post home today.
we had a disgusting dinner last night, we ordrerd two entrees to share, stuffed vines leaves and stuffed peppers (capsicums) we had never had the vines leaves before but we have had stuffed peppers lots of times... always served hot. this stuff was served cold!! stone cold!! like they either forgot to heat it up or possibly did it on purpose, they did seem kind of annoyed we wouldnt order main meals. anyway we had a couple of bites each (i only had one and nearly dry retched) and paid our bill and left, most expensive dinner yet!! (not really but considering what we ate it was) we walked around a few shops and then went home deciding not to eat a proper tea having been turened off by the disgusting peppers and vine leaves.
today we need to go to the post office, skype a few people and wer were supposed to go a hamam but im not sure if this will still happen as Ewen is still asleep and i dont know if i can be bothered. We woke up to a huge thunder storm about 7am this morning! the thunder was so loud it was setting off car alarms! and each burst of thunder was instantly coupled with lightning so the storm must have been right over us!
anyway i better get going, got to pack for Italy!!! We leave at 8am tomorrow morning!!!!
Fonzies and Duff beer here we come!
