Day 1 in Turkey 2006

---

Hello,
We have arrived safely after 24 hrs on the plane with 2 stops along the way in Singapore, Dubai and finally arrived today at 07:00 Turkish Time which is 14:00 Australian Time We left for this trip of a lifetime at 14:45 Australian, Time.
Today in Istanbul, Turkey we visited the Grand Bazaar and we had many sales men trying unsuccessfully to sell us their goods (knock offs of Dolce and Gabbana, Gucci, Von Dutch and other expensive brands)
We have tried many Turkish foods today such as Donor Kebabs, Turkish Meatballs, Calamari, Fresh Fish and also some Savory Treats from the Turkish Bakery. The Savory treats were so good we went back twice. We went to the street markets and found many more knock off goods! We also bought some fruit from the local stalls. also at the Grand Bazaar there was SO many jewellery shops.
Tomorrow we head off to Gallipoli and Troy.
Keep you posted.
From
The Stars
