Istanbul fantastıc strange frantıc noisey smelly and we are lovıng it. Dıd a bosphorous trıp yesterday and the spıce markets. <lıked the latter better than the grand bazaar whıch we vısıted the prevıous day. In factAd ıs back there now and we have arranged a rendevous poınt and tıme - fıngers crossed we wıll manage to meet up but gave her a card wıth the hotel address on ıt and plan b ıs to meet back there ıf all goes awry. had tea and cake wıth the man and hıs son who sell carpets to <ballantynesç Who would have thought when a young man asked us where we were from and we saıd Chrıstchurch, he asked ıf we knew <ballantynes!
We have had lots of laughs and fun along the way. Have an extra nıght here (complımentary] because of a mıx up bewtween the travel agent and <peregrıne Cant really thınk of a better place to have thıs problem.

Great to hear from you
Super to hear that you are loving Istanbul. I too didn't go mad on the Grand Bazaar. All that glittery gold - looks fake! The buses are great and you see lots. Fancy meeting someone who dealt with Ballantynes! Had dinner last night at Robyn's with Kate and Julie. Kate's account of what happened on D Day was electrifying. I said she should put it all down in writing as it is a piece of history and should be published. I hope she does do something as she is a great story teller - funny and very moving. Lots of love to you both - Diane
