Turkey, istanbbul

---

16 th tues, last day in Instanbul, this is such a wicked place, locals are very friendly as long as your covered etc. they pray 5 times a day here, gives me a fright when the prayer comes over the loud speakers although i havent been hearing it at night like the others. After the walking tour yesterday and seeing the blue mosque and trying some yummy stuffed peppers and hagling up a storm in the markets we went out for tea and a show. There was bellydancers and the men were doing high kicks and throwing knives it was very entertaining by the end we were all dancing on the stage, one of the girls from the group got up and sung she was amazing. After the show we went to a night club which was in the same area as all the riots, luckily we had a bus take us there and back, it was all pretty quiet compared to what you see on tv. Today has been nice and relaxing did a little bit of shopping but nothing to full on, we are going out for tea and get 9 new people which is exciting the group is gona change again but we'll have to share seats Now, boo i liked stretching out. Tomorrow we get up early and go to sofia, bulgaria, not to sure what to expect but i know it will amaze me just like everything else i have seen on this trip, best thing ive ever done. When we get to sofia we get another local guide to show us round, so far the english has been awsome with the guides and they love kiwis. Tonight at the dinner i think there is more dancing, men in big white skirts and big hats twirling around, cant wait to see it.Peace out chat soon xx
