Turkey is next on the list. We didn’t plan any trips as we’d
been here five days a few years ago and seen all the sights. We caught a
shuttle into the Grand Bazaar and battled through the anxious shop keepers for
an hour or so before trying to find our way out. Didn’t want to buy anything –
shopkeepers couldn’t understand why we didn’t need more rugs and pashminas! I
did see a lovely necklace but E250. was a bit much. Back to the shuttle and
“home” again.
Today we had an ANZAC Service at 8 am. Quite moving with
trumpeter and all, followed by a cruise past Anzac Cove. We are planning to try
our hand at carpet bowls at 11.15. Might win a drink bottle to replace the one
Hop left on one of the buses. Couldn’t face the crowds in the Horizon – buffet
deck now renamed the “horrorzone” so had lunch in the dining room with a lovely
old couple from Victor Harbour, south west of Adelaide on the coast.
Forgot to mention that soldiers were raising the flag at the
Acropolis when we were there. They do that every morning and lower it every
evening – good idea. They march very strangely. Heavy with the left foot then
lightly bring the right foot up.
So happy to be missing the cold. Poor you all.
Love Hoppy and DelyseXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
